Hi everyone!

I'm a newbee coding C++ but I've coded in other (simpler) languages
for some 10 years now. I'm looking for a good developing tool for my
PC but I have no clue wich one's the best. I'm also looking for a
good beginners guide.

I want to learn how to get data from other programs, network coding,
managing windows and inputs in them.....and much more.


Hope you guys can help an old nerd getting his glasses a little
thicker...thanks!
 
if you want to do the dev for .net framework then i would advise you to try
C# instead of c++ (managed c++ isnt fun any more)

but if you just want to try your hands a good ol c++ with win32s and sockets
etc... then i would say the best too for C++ is Visual C++ 6.0

You can still do unmanaged (good ol' Win32) C++ with VS.NET (MS VC++ 7.1).

Mike,
And you get better compliance with the C++ standard with 7.1 than with
6.0 too!

tried it once and got the main as tmain() and tried a few things... but did
think it was good enough... so i still keep c++ for 6.. use VS.NET for c#...
plus its kinda gets me mixed up with managed / unmanaged and all i ever do
is atl code (have to support some code)
