Vista, the new OS from Microsoft, is supposed to represent 50 million lines of code done in C++. C++ is the fastest language we've got before having to use machine-code, such as Assembler. The short-coming of C++ is it doesn't come with "widgets" -- the buttons, scrolling lists, menus and that sort of thing, whereas a similar language called Java does. The problem with C++ is there is no standardization. Picking up someone else's ideas can be very time-consuming trying to adapt to your project. C++ is fast. There are several C++ packages that come with the widgets. Check out the link below for QT-C++. They have a download for free academic use. You may have to get someone to help you "make" the downloaded code. That's the thing, whatever you code in C++ has to be re-compiled ("make") on every different type of computer out there. The code you write for a Mac will NOT run automagically on a PC or a Linux box.
If you want to learn programming, pick up something like java. Java can be coded for a cellphone or a mainframe computer. If you have Linux, pick up Python.

C++ is an object-oriented programming (OOP) language that is viewed by many as the best language for creating large-scale applications. C++ is a superset of the C language. A related programming language, Java, is based on C++ but optimized for the distribution of program objects in a network such as the Internet. Java is somewhat simpler and easier to learn than C++ and has characteristics that give it other advantages over C++. However, both languages require a considerable amount of study.

C++ is a general-purpose, high-level programming language with low-level facilities. It is a statically typed free-form multi-paradigm language supporting procedural programming, data abstraction, object-oriented programming, generic programming and RTTI. Since the 1990s, C++ has been one of the most popular commercial programming languages.
Bjarne Stroustrup developed C++ (originally named "C with Classes") in 1983 at Bell Labs as an enhancement to the C programming language. Enhancements started with the addition of classes, followed by, among other features, virtual functions, operator overloading, multiple inheritance, templates, and exception handling. The C++ programming language standard was ratified in 1998 as ISO/IEC 14882:1998, the current version of which is the 2003 version, ISO/IEC 14882:2003. A new version of the standard (known informally as C++0x) is being developed.

the second part of your question is more than can be done in this context without a reference to websites.... so just google.com or even search off yahoo for c++ programing.
it is a very early program language..... basic idea of what it does??? it enables humans to use machines in a more effective way.
