unix system is a computer (any computer) that runs unix based os = 3 main branches that came out of Unix Os are Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris
C++ includes in itself C, so u can basically see C++ as extention of C for the begining. when u learn C u learn all the basic stuff,
which is common for both. There is a lot of different compilers for C++ enviroment from what i anderstand for now u running WIN Os
so start with their (MS) one of visual C++ IDE
( IDE= integrated development enviroment = tool that include in itself the needed compiler + a lot supporting stuff)
for the future i suggest u to move on to one of unix os and if u really want to know what proggraming is forget about VB for now, cause if u know
C++, VB is very easy to learn and understand all that stands behind it.
