Hello World...

/g/ could not come close to helping me, so I figured that you guys could :D

I had a small foray with C++ a long while back ( First and only language), but I was too young to understand it at the time and I lacked the knowledge of its practical applicaton.

Anyway now that I am out of school and secure in my shitty job at some local computer place, I think I want to get back into programming. I am still open to the language, but from the information that I have compiled (get it?) I think I will be trying C++ again.

I plan on using DevBloodshed C++ compiler, and just learning out of a book. I know next to nothing about what I need or what I am doing, so any tips or advice that you may have would be much appreciated.

Tabbed consoles hide the information you need. While it takes only one second to find the info you need, having to switch tabs/windows thousands of times each day for months on end gets annoying real fast. Having more monitors means having more screen real estate which means extra room for displaying anything at exactly the same time. I also use Xmonad, the Haskell based TWM.
