I explain that I assume you are familiar with several different programming concepts (if you are familiar with C# or Java, you should be good), then I discuss installing MSVC, coding your first C++ program, compiling/linking your first C++ program from the command line, common IO functions in C/C++, basic C/C++ language features, a challenge, and a few compiler options.
