The integrated development environment (IDE) used during classes is CodeBlocks, but there are many other options. I also use the MS Visual Studio .NET, and there is a free version of this IDE Visual Studio Express. Any C++ reference book is handy. The following links are web resources that I have used and showed in class.

General:

A C++ tutorial

Another C++ tutorial

How to Program in C++, a condensed reference and expanation of the most commonly used elements

Specific:

OpenGL tutorial 

Magick++, a well documented graphics library. Full featured (drawing functions are a tiny part of a sophisticated image handling library), open source, object oriented; therefore not simple at all -- in the long run this is good, but some steepness in the learning curve. Originally only C++, now part of a larger project for multiple platforms ImageMagick.
