It seems every c++ code I write in visual studio 2015 gives me errors but the codes come from c++ books and tutorials from websites etc. It seems alot of new stuff is required when it comes to programming c++ in windows. For example I never had to use stdafx.h before and I'll I needed to use was "using namespace std;" after the iostream include.
I'm a beginner so I'm starting out with console programs.
Can anyone recommend me a good resource for learning c++ in the windows environment?
The stdafx.h requirement comes from using precompiled headers. Either remember to always include stdafx.h in the beginning of every file or disable them. You can also read up on what they are and why realize why they're on by default.
"using namespace std;" isn't a requirement for code at all. That really depends on what kind of tutorials and code from books use, so that varies between sources.
It should not be difficult to get started as C++ in the windows environment isn't different at all. It's no different from other environments. If you're still having trouble, I suggest you post some code that doesn't work so we can look at it.

Or being a beginner, if using visual studio just add the required includes, that is, 'stdafx.h' for the meantime.ok thx ill read up on that.
