How do I learn to write C++ applications?

I use Visual Studio 2005 for programming. When I was little, I used to do programming all the time with Turbo C 3.0, so I'm familiar with all the C grammars and stuffs. But, somehow I don't know how to get on the application programming. I can write console programs only run don command prompt, using C++. But when it comes to windows application programs(like MFC programmings and stuffs,) I don't know how to design window resources and everything. There are not much books on Application programming on Visual C++ 2005. Does the version matter in C++(Can I use older version books for C++ 2005?) It's hard to find the way to start these. Do you have any suggestion?





Quesiton Summary:





1) What is the most famous website/forum for C++ developers group?


2) How do I get started on Windows APP Programming?


3) Is the older version of C++ compatible with Visual C++ 2005(Can I get books for VC++ 6.0 or .NET and would it still work on 2005?)





Thx, and I always give 5 stars to the best answer.

You can download for free the Visual Studio Express and there are tutorials you can follow for each of the languages in it to learn.


You can write a program and then look at the final code source to see how it was developed in order to use in your other C++ work.
