01. Introduction to C++, and Installing Visual Studio 2015
In this tutorial you will learn how to install Visual Studio 2015, and a bit about C++.
##What is C++?## C++ is a high object-orientated programming (OOP) language, developed by Bjarne Stroustrup, and it's an extension of C language. The original title of C++ was "C" with "Classes", but was later named "C++", because "++" is an operator in C programming language, and it increments a value by one. Since then, C++ has become one of the most widely-used languages in the world, especially in projects where performance comes at a premium. C++ continues to be updated and maintained; the current version is C++ 11, released in 2011. The syntax of C++ is largely inherited from C. It adds object-oriented features to its predecessor, such as classes, abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism. It also provides functionality for function and operator overloading, generic programming facilities (such as the ability to create templates), and exception handling. C++ also features and a robust standard library (STL) of useful data structures, algorithms, and input/output facilities. Basic C++ syntax: #include <iostream.h> int main() { std::cout<<"Hello World!"<<std::endl; return 0; } Hello World! We will talk more about how this Hello World! program works in the following tutorial. ##Installing Visual Studio 2015## We will be using Visual Studio 2015 community edition, because it's free. You can download it .[https://www.visualstudio.com/post-download-vs?sku=community&clcid=0x409][here]. If you alredy have Visual studio, that is also fine. When you start installing Viusal studio 2015, first thing that you will have to do is checking the Custom checkbox, because we will select what we want to install. +[http://www.braynzarsoft.net/image/100242][Installing Visual Studio 2015] Now that we have done that, we must choose what we will install with Visual Studio. Everything we will need is Visual C++, so under Programming languages you will see Visual C++. +[http://www.braynzarsoft.net/image/100243][Installing Visual Studio 2015] Now that we have done all the steps above, we can sit back and relax until Visual Studio is installed.
