0 pagal Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Visual C++ is a part of Visual Studio! If you are learning C++ then start with Borland, then if you want to try Visual C++, use Visual Studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 neowin_hipster Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Don't use borland. Its crap. Use mingw http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DrunkenMaster Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 If you're just starting out, both Borland and Visual C++ are good programs to start out on. You can also use mingw since its based on GCC, just don't expect everything from it. If you're going to take classes in college/university, get Borland or Visual C++. Don't get the professional or enterprise editions. There's way too many tools in there and if you're starting out it gets too confusing. Stick w/ one of the personal editions and don't get the full Visual Studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
