no need to "buy" it
its free

Yes, and technically you don't "buy" C++... you don't even buy (<--legally) it. C++ is the language, which you are allowed to know free of charge, you would be looking for the compiler (for which Catalyst has provided a link). Just wanted to clear that up

And if you don't like Dev-C++ though I have used different ones and I like it the best - even over VC++, here is a site that has a list of some compilers:

I would suggest that this isn't an "over the summer" kind of thing. Visual Basic syntax is straightforward enough, I suppose, but that gets you nowhere. The APIs (Appleication Programming Interfaces) you can use from VB are huge and often byzantine.

A couple of good, "over the summer" (or even a few days) languages are Python and Ruby. Both come with an interactive interpreter. This lets you type in a line of code at a prompt and see the result immediately. This makes it incredibly easy to get a feel for how things work.

For instance:

code:

C:\> irb irb(main):001:0> my_var = 10 => 10 irb(main):002:0> if my_var > 5 irb(main):003:1>    puts "foo!" irb(main):004:1> end foo! => nil irb(main):005:0> if my_var < 5 irb(main):006:1>    puts "foo!" irb(main):007:1> else irb(main):008:1*    puts "bar..." irb(main):009:1> end bar... => nil irb(main):010:0> for x in [1,2,3] irb(main):011:1>    puts x irb(main):012:1> end 1 2 3 => [1, 2, 3] irb(main):013:0> exit C:\> C:\> python Python 2.3.3 (#51, Dec 18 2003, 20:22:39) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> my_var = 10 >>> if my_var > 5: ...    print "foo!" ... foo! >>> if my_var < 5: ...    print "foo!" ... else: ...    print "bar..." ... bar... >>> for x in [1,2,3]: ...    print x ... 1 2 3 >>> from sys import exit >>> exit() C:\>
