i use Dev C++ and have been coding for all of 30 minutes, have just succesfully written that hello world thing (yes i am proud of myself ) and i was wondering what other people opinions are on compilers.

as a beginner i want to start with the most easy to use, user friendly one i can find, Dev C++ seems ok, but then i wouldnt know an ok compiler if it kicked me in the b@lls

thnx,

Visual C++ (2008) has always been the best for me.

thnx for your input...but is that the most user frendly one out there? im looking for like a compiler for dummies, if you know what i mean, i havent had any problems with Dev, but was wondering if any1 knew of an easier one to use

Well, as long as you don't consider hitting a Play button hard, then yes it's the most user friendly one out there

ok *hits non-existent thanks button*

thnx muppet

Depends if you're confusing compiler and IDE, and what platform you're on.

Windows: MSVC++ 8 with their compiler
Linux: (depending on distro)Code::Blocks and compile with gcc

sorry forgot to add that info. im using vista 32bit.


i have bin usin DEV lately, but am downloading visual studio now....so will give that a try also.

thnx for your input!,
