C/C++ Beginner's Guide and Post Basic Questions here
From my experience I'd say, keep your concepts clear. On interview generally people doesn't ask you to write programs, but mainly focuses on concepts and logic.
Though you may need to give machine test / may get asked for writing programs but that won't be tricky and all, it's just to test your logic.
You may not know everything, but what you know should be perfect.

mingw is a gcc port for windows, and it includes POSIX library. Moreover, do not use Dev C++ use Code Blocks. Dev C++ is old and outdated.

hi,can anyone post a link to a site which has an auto installing minGW compiler?

download it or download Code::Blocks.

I read the first post today and came to know that I was going the wrong way till now(Using Turbo C compiler ).
So I downloaded MS Visual C++ express edition and installed it, but it looks more complex than what I have used till now. Header files are defined in different section, source code is written in other etc etc.
That's not an issue but I noticed we have to prefix "std::" before "cout" and "cin" and some header files a bit different and there will many other such modifications which I want to learn(I learned from some Sumita Arora book so you can understand what I mean).
Are there any tutorials which can help me in migrating from Turbo C to this new compiler?? I don't want to go through that 1000 page "C++ the complete reference" or "thinking in C++" if I can avoid.

You don't need to read the complete book to pick on the basics.

I am trying to implement every concept separately in this new compiler to learn the modifications. Till now, I have tried simple loops(for, while, do-while), switch statement, string functions, class and constructors etc. all separately. Initially they were giving errors which I solved after some googling(like using "_getch()" instead of "getch()", using "using namespace std;" etc).
I am trying a file handling program now(writing characters to a file) which is giving errors. Looking forward to rectify that.
^Same issue for me
Which compiler are u using now(Assuming by your statement that you were using turbo C earlier)???

You shouldn't be using _getch() either. It is a non-standard function as well and it is as bad as using the compiler you used. Use getchar or cin.get to read characters (Note input is buffered). And there's no point of either clearing a screen or trapping a keyboard output. Console programs aren't supposed to behave like that. And an IDE like Geany does that job for you automatically.
Forget about whatever you did in the you-know-what compiler. Read your book (yes thinking in C++) as if it's a new language you're learning.

TurboC > Dev C++ > VC++.

Buy a proper C++ book and read it. Think this way - your knowledge in C++ is zero.

I guess everyone missed your sarcasm.You don't need to read the complete book to pick on the basics.
