Hi!
I'm currently taking courses to learn how to program professionally, and I'm learning C. (not C++, nor C#). They gave us a basic (ancient) compiler (Borland C/C++ 4.52), allowing us to write programs but not to create User Interfaces. The teachers told us that it is possible to create User Interfaces in other compilers, but we won't use them. I'd like to find one, because writing simple code to make text-based programs isn't exactly my kind of fun, and it would make programming a bit more interesting. But it's been harder than I thought. According to my friend, Visio no longer supports development in simple C and I'm not planning to purchase or legally download compilers when I'm not sure that they will work or not. So I was wondering if one of you have a recommendation for me. Thanks in advance! _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website!

Best option for you is to get Dev-C++ IDE using mingw  Free, simple... sorted  _______________ Website |

I'm pretty sure, from your post, that you're talking about IDEs (Integrated Development Environment) and not compilers.
wxDev-C++: A pretty good one. It's free. Visual C++: Microsoft. It's decent. Express version is free. NetBeans with C/C++ pack: A very good one if you don't mind that it's written in Java. Free. Those are just off the top of my head, but there are many more. I suggest you google/wiki for "IDE". Or, do it the "real" way: a unix-based OS, text editor, and command line compiler. 
Welcome to the world of software development. At any time, should you feel the stress and anguish levels rising beyond tolerable levels, please bash head into wall several times to release pressure. Good luck. _______________ make install -not war |
