    Most good books on C++ have a learning edition of VC attached.

    Look for a good book ( not exactly cheap however ) and you get two for the price of one.

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.

    Linux

    howdy,
    you sound like a prime canidate for linux - the OS is free the compiler is free the documentation is free. check it out. im using gcc to learn C++ and the Emacs editor both work just fine and are very simple to use.

    If you're using linux, try pico for an editor. Easier to use than either emacs or vi. You could also check out www.editpadclassic.com for a free editor with some nice features.

    >>I got VC++ standard edition for 80$

    I did, too I think CompUSA had a day where they decided to take leave of their senses. Well, it was either 80 or around 60. I can't quite remember. It was a while ago.

    Download a free version of Linux and get gcc/g++ for free.

    I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak, there is no disguising the truth!

    pico

    howdy salvelinus,
    i found emacs to be pretty easy to use, it has highlighting and compile/linking right from the editor.
    i have seen quit a bit of talk about pico but have not been able to find it in my installation of RH.
    is it an add on, if so can i get an RPM for pico?

    thanks
    M.R.
