compiling c++ files

[rtoot3]

im just starting c++ programming, i run ubuntu, and i took a tutorial on cplusplus.com, and wrote all this in my text editor

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
    cout << "Hello World";
    return 0;
}

anyway, i saved it as helloworld.cc, andi think thats all gonna work, but how do i compile it? i installed build essential, now what?
