C++

[nnnik]

C++ is one of the most common programming languages.
You can find a good tutorial here.
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
Also you will need a compiler:
Google:

1. gnu gcc
2. Visual C++ Express 2010

I personally use Visual C++ Express.

If you know other Compilers Name them here.

A while ago when I started reading through the exact tutorial you mentioned, (http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/) I understood it because I knew AHK, but I was baffled because it didn't mention a compiler. Eventually I got Cygwin and downloaded the gnu gcc, but that took a long time to figure out. For just learning the basics, which I am still doing, I just wanted something similar to SciTE4AutoHotkey.

1. Install mingw
2. create hello.cpp
3. in cmd, g++ hello.cpp -o hello
4. in cmd, run, hello
5. it prints "hello world"

@kon lol, Combine LibCon and Ahk, and go back to the console again!
