I just downloaded Visual C++ again and also now Visual Basic. VB seems pretty nice.\

EDIT: lol Sorry about that. I figured it out right after I posted that. ;) That's not a bad price, 40 bucks...

I do not like CodeBlocks. Maybe it is solely because I am new to C++. I did, have Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition. I may just go back to that.

Do the SlickEdit Tools Productivity Suit cost a lot...

What do you use, instead of CodeBlocks?

So, for now do worry about wxWidgets and just do some console applications? I can do that. Then when I am ready for GUI programming I will install wxWidgets again and try and build it then.

I did, but I keep getting that error message.

When I try creating a new wxWidgets project, it tells me that "A matching debug configuration cannot be found in the wxWidgets directory you...

Is there a way I can download CodeBlocks where it comes with MinGW and the C++ compiler so it will be easier to install it all?

Becuase I downloaded it, and isntalled it, but I cannot Build or...

I just found wxDev-C++. It's the Dev-C++ IDE but supports wxWidgets and MinGW. Have any of you heard of it?

C++ is my first language I am learning. I am doing the tutorials online and will be taking C++ classes at my local college soon. After C++, I plan to try and tackle Java.

Then would you suggest learning Java before C++?

Have any of you ever used NetBeans IDE?

Which do you prefer: Windows or a Mac?

I am a Windows user and just upgraded my Windows XP Home to Windows Vista Home Basic and I love it so far.

I am thinking about buying a Mac to see how...

I will try wxWidgets and download the Visual Basic Express edition. I figure VB will be better to start with than C++ or should I use the Visual C++ express edition?

So, you suggest gettin...

Okay.

Which GUI library would you recommend and which compiler/IDE?

I signed in to download VS 2008 Pro, but my school (its a community college) is not listed. So that means I cannot get it free?

I'll also check out codeblocks ;)

With VS I can make programs that have a GUI, correct? Thank you very much for all your help. I do apologize for so many questions. Thanks again. :)

So if I download Visual Studio 2008 Pro edition I will have all the tools in one package to make Windows programs?

I found the Visual C++ Express Edition for free, do I need that plus Visual Basic 2008? I am also a student. How would I go about getting the Professional edition for free?

What's the best, free, compiler/IDE that I can use to create applications with a GUI for Windows?

Yes, I believe so. I think you can use this. It's Trolltech's Qt application: http://trolltech.com/products/qt/. But I think you can only do so much. I'm not sure though. Hope this helps though.

Okay. Thank you. :)

I am looking for a free, open source firewall that is written in C++. Does anyone know of any?
