Beginner looking for help.

I picked up a book in my dad's garage today and started looking through it. Made me want to learn C++(I took it in HS for a sem..but back then I was distracted). What are some good programs that would allow me to write/test code?(I can't remember what program we used in HS for the life of me. It was made by Microsoft though)

Thanks for the help
