Nick,

Since you are new to C++, you are likely to write mostly single-file
console/terminal programs. For this kind of work, I would modestly
recommend my own :) plug-in Side-C (script #2434).

It's a very simple gvim IDE for at least Linux and Windows that
transparently invokes the compiler, opens/closes the quickfix
(i.e. error message) window as necessary, runs the executable
program in several modes, and does several other useful things.

I myself happily use it on a daily basis so it must be good enough :)
