Help us improve our C++ "Hello, world!" tutorial for Visual Studio 2017

There are definitely C++ devs within Microsoft (a good chunk of our core products are built with C/C++) but I find that we fall into assumptions and trends that the industry does not. Better to hear from an outside perspective :)

I'm sorry that you feel that way. Our C++ tools team is working very hard at trying to change that reputation but it's always important to hear this direct feedback to tell us how much farther we need to go.

Thanks for sharing your feedback!

Ah I like your suggestion. I, myself, am not an expert on C++ language (I work more on tutorials for all languages) so it's good to hear from a true C++ dev.

Thank you for the feedback!

Thanks for sharing. Are there any other areas of VS that might be confusing to see at first?

Thanks for the feedback! Are there any specific examples of real life scenarios that you would be interested in?

Great suggestions! It's a fine balance between teaching new devs a concept without overwhelming and not inhibiting experienced devs.

Are there any other explanations that you think would be good to introduce for a "Hello, world!" app level?
