The Knowledge Base on MSDN is a good source of information. The online help
for VC is also a good source of information about the workings of the IDE.
When you say integrate multiple libraries, are you talking about 3rd party
libraries that you would like to use in VC? There are several ways to let a
VC project know about additional libraries and their locations. Environment
variables and within the IDE under Tools->Options->Directories and simply
adding them to the project files tree control. As for where to learn about
this, sorry, I'm self taught so I cannot tell you anything about formal
training. I'm sure that the MSCD Certification program would be a good
start.
