C++ tutorial & compiler
« 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. If you use Windows then there\'s a really nice IDE that uses MinGW (a Windows version of GCC; MinGW stands for Minimalist GNU for Windows) called Bloodshed Dev-C++.  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)
The internet is "the terrorists'" most important weapon, they say.
Wrong.
Fear is their most important weapon.
Ours is our freedom.
