Evan Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Hello,I am by no means new to programming. I used to do a lot of programming mostly with Java in the past.I have given up for a while, and now I am looking for a new language to allow me to build applications for Windows. I'd also like some sort of a GUI editor/environment so I can easily design the UI components.I'd like to go for C++ as it is very popular (I've only done some basic Linux C programming). I can't really afford Microsoft's Visual C package. I was wondering if there is something else out there that will let me do the job. I have seen some freeware packages but I haven't tested them yet.I prefer something not bloated, preferably conforming to standards, and the UI editor is a very important part for me also.Thanks for any insight.

Crispy Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 As a n00bish wannabe programmer I have also been checking out alot of editors, but I don't know if its the same thing you''re looking for.Anyway, I found DevC++ to be one of the best freeware IDEs:Screenshot - DownloadIf thats not advanced enought you might want to try Borland's C++ editor. I believe its much cheaper than the MS alternative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe its much cheaper than the MS alternative well i use Visual C++ a lot and yes it is rather experence.. DevC++ is defintely the best option.. its very good.. better than visual C++ in many ways too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
