2) Can anyone recommend a good book to begin with? I saw C++ Primer Plus (5th Edition) by Stephen Prata got excellent ratings on amazon...

Thank you!
Goat,

Firstly, you can check out my tutorial:

The MQL4 code passed on C not C++, so, if you want to buy a book (I don't know why? There are a lot of free stuff in the net!) you have to buy a C language book not a C++ book.

Happy programming!
