Hi, I am new to the world of C and C++. I came to know about the Dev-C++. Is Dev-C++ a tool used by beginners? Is this tool used to produce a commercial products also? I have this question because I was reading an article called "Getting Started with C++" on the http://www.cprogramming.com/begin.html page that said "For beginners, Bloodshed Dev, which uses a windows interface, is a free and easy-to-use compiler. ". Do you have any suggestion as which path should I take as I am learning C and C++. Should I use Dev-C++ or Borland C++ 6 or Microsoft C/C++. Thanx for all the ideas. TAM |

The Gnu compiler can be (and often is) used without Dev-C++. Go ahead and use it; it's free and non-proprietary. You'll have no trouble adapting to M$ Visual C+ later. The opposite may not be true. If you get hooked on wxWindows you may never want to use M$ Visual C+ ;-) The Gnu compiler is the heart. Spend a little time using it by it's self from a command line and editing with any old ascii text editor to get a feel for things at first. Ken Bradford Alpha II Service, Inc. |

It is much more compliant to the c++ standard as e.g. vc++. The ide dev-cpp is easy to use, just right for the beginner (and other of course). And dev-cpp, mingw (gcc) are free ! I think it would be the best choice to start with dev-cpp greetings Horst -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln! Fotogalerie online mit GMX ohne eigene Homepage! |

I recently saw my first example of a high-quality program written in Dev-C++. The N64 emulator Mupen64 was written entirely with Dev-C++, which I believe is a great first step.

DevC++ is OpenSource... You are the beginner... The tools are for programmers... beginners and experts... use any one you want... ----- Original Message ----- From: "TAM" <tmp...@sh...> To: <dev...@li...> Sent: Thursday, May 08, 2003 10:37 AM Subject: [Dev-C++] Is Dev-C++ a beginners tool? > Hi, > > I am new to the world of C and C++.

My suggestion is read an introductory book to learn the basic stuff of the language at first. The language is defined by the ANSI/ISO C++ standard. Then you can read the "The C++ Programming Language" 3rd Edition or Special Edition by Bjarne Stroustrup (the creator of C++) to learn the rest of the language and also learn an API of a platform you are going to code to (e.g. Windows platform, .NET framework). Dev-C++ uses the MINGW compiler which supports the ANSI/ISO C and C++ standards (C and C++ are different languages) and currently provides support for the Win32 API. So it is OK to use it to write ANSI/ISO C++ conformant code and C++ code that uses the Win32 API.
