OK, we do have a section for C++. (Moved)

As for your questions (assuming you've used the number 2 as a substitute for the word "to")
The first thing you'll need would be a book of some kind. No point in writing code if you're just guessing at the syntax. Try searching google for "Thinking in C++". I'm not sure if it will help you start with C++ but it is a free download. You can also find plenty of C++ tutorials on the internet, and you can use the previously mentioned C++ section to ask questions.
After that, you'll need a compiler. There are free compilers available that you can run from the command line (wtd knows better than I would), or you can get an IDE in which you can type out the code and compile/run the program from there. You can do a search for Dev-C++ (also free).

Your best bet is to install Linux. Seriously.

You can program on Windows (and I can help you get started doing so), but it's not a developer-friendly platform. With Linux (or Mac OS X for that matter), you'll have all the tools you need at your disposal without having to jump through a lot of hoops.

I would suggest grabbing the MSYS installer binary:

http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.10.exe?download

Once you've run that installer, you should have an MSYS folder in your Start Menu. Go there and select "MSYS". This opens a Bash shell you can use for compiling programs. Get comfortable with the command-line. If you have questions, you should be able to consult Google or there are people here who can answer questions.
