Former Kman data base programmer wanting to learn C++
What do I need to download to start. Keep in mind I now in China but Canadian so I need everthing in English
Learning is hard only if one lacks ability to read and think ...
This site has tutorials and reference documentation.
http://en.cppreference.com/ has reference documentation in different format.
"Download" as in what programs? Just a C++ compiler for a start; (almost) every platform has a text editor of some kind. Compiler includes Standard Library.
Which compiler? Depends on your platform.

Thank you for getting back so fast. Could you give me a good link to download a C++ complier
No. Do not pick (or recommend) anything outdated. The thing is that C++ is still evolving and there is no point in learning without the new goodies.
The MS Visual Studio does have a praised IDE and the latest version has better C++ support than any previous MSVS. "Free" too:

GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) you can get to most platforms; there are many versions for Windows alone. Practically every Linux distribution has GCC in their base repository and since Windows 10 now offers (beta) support for Ubuntu Linux packages, one more GCC is available in Windows.
Code::Blocks is an IDE; not a compiler. It does use some compiler.

Tried the link it goes to Chinese. I have to find a way to get English only. If you have a suggestion let me know.
At the bottom left of that page should be a blue earth icon. Click on it to change language.
