I've looked briefly into that tutorial.
It is not up to date (regarding c++ standards) but definatly good as a free tutorial.
Note that on Visual C+ you don't add cin.get() in the debug mode, but you do add it for the release *.exe if you make a console program.
Now what you can do is to find out if DevC++ works exactly the other way around. I worked once with DevC++ but that was a long time ago. So I forgot. Anyway, experiment a lil.
My second advice is to pay attention to character/string handling very well. The student can be as smart as anyone can be, but if he doesn't handle "standart output and standard input" (chars/strings mostly thus) really well, he will always struggle.
And obviously you can always show your face here if you like some help
