There is no particular implementation you're supposed to use. You simply use whatever you've got. If you're on Windows you can get Visual Studio Express. If you're on linux you can use gcc, if you're on OS X you can get Xcode, etc.

Accelerated C++ is not intended for individuals new to programming; It's intended to get a programmer with experience in another language up and running in C++ quickly. You may find a different book more suited to your needs.

    I agree with your second point. If OP doesn't know what an IDE is, and isn't even at a "hello world" level, they should really be using a much more introductory text. – Cory Kramer Feb 20 '14 at 20:36
  • You make a good point about the intended skill level of the book, but I don't really understand how this Q/A is useful to the community. – admdrew Feb 20 '14 at 20:37
  • @tylerdude If you want to learn programming and you want to do so using C++ then _Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++_ is a good option. You can get a sample of its content [here](http://www.stroustrup.com/Programming/). The [C++ Book List](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/388242/the-definitive-c-book-guide-and-list) has a couple other options (as well as _Accelerated C++_, though it mentions the point about being for programmers with previous experience). – bames53 Feb 20 '14 at 21:09
