Learning C++ need advice for a free compiler.?
Best and easy to use is Visual C++ Express 2005 (it's free)http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/expres...


and you can get complete information on Microsoft's Vc++ from http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/ infact there are video lessions and how Do I.. Guides at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library...


This will be the best compiler to use as you are doing development in windows xp . As it will provide you with good API's (IT's a COMPILER + IDE)


There is another free compiler http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html . It's a good compiler , if you want to be vendor neutral.


There is another free compiler called GCC (this is a GNU compiler (i.e Open Source and free too) you can get complete information on this from http://gcc.gnu.org


and you can download the compiler from http://gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html


With this compiler you can do development on many operating systems with the same toolset.

THE BEST YET!





Don't join with those Microsoft's compiler or else, they are just some jokes to be with.


I started my basics with a borland C++ package and now found a more user-friendly kit 'The Dev-C++'.


ONLY IF YOU WANT TO BE A REAL PROGRAMMER!!!!!!!!!
