Title: C++ tutorial & compiler
Post by: Clowd on July 11, 2004, 02:06:43 am

Does anyone know where I can find and download a free C++ compiler, as well as C++ tutorials?  I\'m interested in learning the language.

I recommend GCC (http://gcc.gnu.org/). If you use Windows then there\'s a really nice IDE that uses MinGW (http://www.mingw.org/) (a Windows version of GCC; MinGW stands for Minimalist GNU for Windows) called Bloodshed Dev-C++ (http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html).  As for tutorials, I would suggest using Google.

ok, I\'ve just downloaded and installed Dev-C++ beta 8, I will be doing the tutorials at http://www.cprogramming.com, because it is the first C++ site I found, and its free.

Oh, and thank you all!

I prefer books. :}
I use C++ for Dummies.
SAMS is also good.

I\'m learning python. I\'ve heard that its a lot easier to use than C++ but still has the same functionality

Biggest difference: Python is a script language, C is not.
Meaning that you will always need an interpreter to run programs made in Python. (or a native compiler, if available)
