Try editing your previous post. I think you already got a satisfactory answer.
Anyways, C++ is not a noob language. You have to learn. Nobody will spoon feed you.

Depends on what you mean:
C++.NET - No, don't touch it ever.
C++ - Good for everyone.

Visual C++ is not a good thing for noobs to start in at all. It actually differs from plain C++ I believe but either way I'm having issues with it and I'm using pre written files.
Only reason I have it is to run my P-Server for Maple and thats it. But I cant even make a HelloWorld program without getting some bull crap error. Just stick to regular compiling. Or if you want use Microsoft Visual Basic it's alot simpler actually, most of the functions are drag and drop.

| ok im sorry and i know C++ is not a noob language you should start on it when you have at least knowledge of easier languages like html and stuff i have a compiler but i um sorta dont know how to use it; its called Dev-C++ and whenever i try to make a hello world program and compile it it wont run and ive even tryed copying a hello world code and it still wont run

I recommend Dev-C++ for regular C++, and to make protable code. But VC++ to use new functions, and for easier GUI, but I like to just use WIN32 (When I can).
Also if you are having compiling trouble, I might be able to help.

Simply put in my opinion VC++ is not for noobs, you need to know C++ already so do what Chaosis said jsut use Dev-C++ and learn the langauge then go onto using VC++ but I'm still unsure on one thing.
Are the langauges in VC++ and Regular C++ different in anyway as it feels they are to me. When I tried to make a Hello World Program in VC++ I got a weird error so I couldnt tell if I either failed at typing or the langauges were diffrent somehow.

There is no reason to touch DevC++ to do "regular C++" when Visual Studio can already do it.

Did you try... Learning C++? If you can't make a hello world program in VC++, i wouldn't blame the compiler... Anyway, what error does it throw?
| Code: |
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
std::cout << "Hello world!" << std::endl << "This is no different from \"regular C++\"" << std::endl;
return 0;
}
|
That was hard O_o

cout << "Hello World!";

What's the error? When that program runs, it would close right after it was done and not let you see what it had printed. put cin.get() before return 0.

| c++ is not a perfect language for beginners, try using visual basic. its a way easier for programing because its much more easier to add a GUI there.
