Differents?Visual C++ and C++

if by easy you mean hard, because I found Dev-C++ much easier for learning the basics then Visual C++. zeco is the only Ive seen who started out with VS and didnt have tons of problems =/

What makes someone assume the visual series IDE simplifies a language, thats like saying B.A.S.I.C is harder then Qbasic because.... (input reason here)

the only differences in C++ and VS (C++) (the OP [I believe] is talking about the language, not the development environment)is the program you use to make and compile the program.

An easy transition

(Just my two cents)

i started with Visual C++ too but to code C... its quite easy..

lol I started with dev-c++ too and visual c++ just makes everything easier, maybe not for you, but for a lot of people...

Agreed.

For future reference. If you ever get to the point where you want to start Direct3D. I suggest using Visual Studio, Dev C++ wouldn't allow me to link the libraries properly(DevC++ uses their own library type thing). I would always get unresolved external errors thrown at me.

Maybe it's just me, but I was never able to get Direct3D to compile on Dev C++.

Good luck.

Well thank u guys
