Then Again I'm sure someone will prove me wrong

lol... that's how I am feeling now, although I felt similar the first time I started programming years ago. I played around some more and got some simple even driven things working in a GUI designed in Borland C++ Builder. With time and practice I'll become more comfortable with this and try to share some knowledge with others wishing to learn.

I was interested in jumping from writing windows VB applicaitons to Windows C++ applications and wanted some advice.

I will probably use Borland C++ Builder 6 as it has a nice windows form builder to allow fast building of GUI apps.

I wanted to know if anyone here has any nice simple "Hello World" type examples of GUI apps writen for this IDE that I can take a look at.

Why not use Visual C++? It's almost as easy as writing in Visual Basic, and it'll look very familiar to a VB programmer.
