    The first thing you need to learn before even programming, is searching... if you would have searched something like bloodshed, or dev-cpp or even just the version number of 4.9.9.2 you would have seen that a fair number of us use it almost exclusivly.

    It will be good if you want to learn programming...

    DEV compiler is good and works always OK///if you are to learn C++, i think its best.no need to use VC or Builder's console,which is a small function of a huge mass platform and very slow each time you start it.

    now i form a habit that,when making a part function of a big project,i like to use DEV's console to make it and debug,then add it to the project in VC or .Net. Its quite efficient,try it.

    It's a good idea to use whatever the author recommends.

    Compilers/IDEs are not the easiest things to learn. And, in the beginning, you are trying to learn a programming language, how to use your IDE, and what programing is all about.

    For the same reason, I always recommend that students taking their first programming class use the same compiler as the instructor and their fellow students.
