Is my link managed or native and what types of quirks are you talking about?  I just finally understood what this topic was getting at so long ago.
I am just learning c++ so I want to be totally sure I am doing everything right.

The link you gave has documentation about native c++. If you want to start a native c++ project in visual c++, you need to go to Win32->Console application, and a wizzard will help you create one that is either a console application, or a window application. I suggest starting with console, since learning c++ with the windows api would be pretty harder.

Console app is native c++ and compiles to the command line right?
What is an example of managed?

Yes.

What is an example of managed?
Code: [Select]
using namespace System;

int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
Console::WriteLine("Type 'quit' to quit...");
while(Console::ReadLine() != "quit")
{
Console::WriteLine("Type 'quit' to quit...");
}

return 0;
}

Yes.

using namespace System;

int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
Console::WriteLine("Type 'quit' to quit...");
while(Console::ReadLine() != "quit")
{
Console::WriteLine("Type 'quit' to quit...");
}

return 0;
}
Can managed be compiled as a console program?
Is native used to make games and managed is used for other then that?  If I am wrong, what is managed used to do and what is the value of knowing it?  Cobo said managed is like C# so is it valuable to know C# and managed or just one of the two?

...yes. I'd suggest you look into how this all works a bit more before diving in.

What would wrap up all these questions into one good search phrase for Google?

Managed C++ = .NET + C++

Syntax is more like C++ than C#, and you can mix both unmanaged (regular C++) and managed (.NET) code.

Should be noted that managed C++ is deprecated... The standard as of .Net 2.0 and higher is C++/CLI (Same idea, they just wiped away more of the blood left over from sledge-hammering Managed CLI into an unmanaged language :P)
