Best C++ program?
I've been looking through a bunch of compilers and coding programs for c++ and i'm looking at getting Visual Studio Express? is this a good choice or do you guys have something better than the majority of you use?

The most used one here is what you just said "Visual Studio Express" and most the guides here run off that, so i recommend that. The best one would probably be "Eclipse" from what I've seen/tinkered with as it works with c++ AND java.

Good luck man!

Eclipse sucks for C++. Use CLion instead if you don't want to use Visual Studio.

If he's looking to learn C++, why not have java aswell.

When i used it Eclipse worked really good in both, it's his choice though. Everyone will have their own opinions.

Of course it is opinion based, but why would you start with something that limits you in all ways instead of using something that gives you freedom and let's you do everything you want?

I would generally recommend using Visual Studio Community as you have the full package and freedom to do whatever you want. Everything else is limiting you.
Once you know much more, you can go over to CLion if you prefer to use it. Eclipse might be good for Java, but not for C++.
Since OP wants to learn C++, i wouldn't suggest starting with learning Java, as the core of C++ is so much different from Java, it would just confuse him when he wants to learn C++.
