question
im reading this thing about c++ and it apparently needs a text editor for source codes, please explain what it means
question
That's what a compiler is. That's computer science 101. If you don't know what that is then you have quite a bit to learn so listen up:
A compiler take your written code and after checking it for errors and a lot of other intermediate steps that you don't need to worry about turns it into actual machine instructions that can be run by the computer. (aka. an executable file)
Do you understand this much?
A C++ compiler such as Dev-C++ would compile C++ code into a working program.

yes ty man lol, sorry its a lot harder then vb08 sos just a little new
VB08 uses a compiler too. You just didn't know it did 
And C++ is a little more difficult then VB starting off, but that's because it gives you a lot more control, however years down the road I would think C++ is a lot more rewarding then VB, especially if you want to make something fairly complex.
Hacking involves thinking out of the box and I would think its kind of hard to do that if your using a language that was originally designed only to make windows :\
