Visual C++ 2008

-----------------------------------

Hi all?!
Visual C++ 2008, is good? It use netFrame (programs will need to have netFrame)?
Visual C++ 6, is better?

Has better IDE for C++?

Sorry my stupid questions, but I'm starting at C++  :roll:

if your just starting, why pay for an IDE? Also, are you really going to start using netFrames as a beginner lesson? I think not. Get some free one that will meet the basic needs:

|
|
--> debugger
|
--> complier
|
--> syntax highlighter 
|
--> [extra] project management


and such your just starting out, my best bet would be use a text editor such as notepad++ and cmd.

that is all you need.

You'll need to learn the difference between a compiler and an integrated development environment first if you have any hope of becoming a decent programmer.

builder C++ is only "good" if you know what it does, and how to use it ;)

If you want a nice free C++ environment, get cygwin at http://www.cygwin.com/ and install the base.  If it looks good, then setup.exe install gcc, binutils, gdb and make; plus any others, like ctags.

GNU does make for a pretty nice dev env.

Cheers

As suggested above, learning the difference between a compiler and IDE is most important.

Afterwards you can get [url=http://www.microsoft.com/express/vc/]Visual C++ Express 2008 for free, despite popular belief.

again, only if you know how to use it effectively.

Using an IDE is NOT neccesary when writing C++ programs. In fact, wtd made a very good point that  gcc -o    then ./
