I would have to agree with Mjordan2nd that dev-c++ is the best editor/compiler for windows out there. bloodshed made an awsome program. good luck with learning C++

Better than Visual Studio?

I think Visual Studio is an IDE based compiler, so I think its better. But did you have to pay for it?

Well, I used to use it at work before, so "I" didn't actually make the payment. There used to be books like "Learn VC++ 6.0 in 24 hours" and they came with VC++ 6.0 Learning Edition or something. It actually worked all right. I don't know about the latest version of Visual Studio.

I believe dev-c++ is the best "free compiler".

yeah i should have stated it is the best compiler/editor if you dont like ide/rad's and its free so that makes it great aswell

as for buy visual studios if you where looking to fork out around $600-$900 then its cool it makes creating gui applications easy so im not saying its bad as i am a visual basic programmer im just saying for free dev-C++ is the bomb
