I have a few pieces of advice.

1. Learn CMake as well. This will greatly help in that you will not
have to manage linking and include files.
2. Have a look at the vtk wiki examples.
    http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx

These are very easy to use if you use CMake.

3. I would avoid dynamic linking at first. Its far simpler to use
static vtk libraries and not to have to worry about copying dlls
(athough you can get CMake to do that - but it takes some time to get
to that speed).
