Superganja23 Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I know most of you will get p/o'd by me asking this question: What program do you use to code Visual C++, and whats the difference between Visual C++ and C++? Thanks for the help :) [moved from Software by spinynorman] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cityboy Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Visual C++ is a Microsoft product. BTW, you can now download for free the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express product. See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/ On linux, the GNU C++ compiler is part of the gcc suite.

Superganja23 Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I see, but in terms of language of C++ is there any difference between the two?(Visual C++ and C++) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioshin Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 (edited) I think C++ does not depend on M$ while Visual C++ depends on M$. If you can code C++, you can make a program on whatever OS, while if you create a program using Visual C++ ( just an opinion) it will run only on M$ OS...

phunni Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Consider learning C# instead. You can still develop it using Visual Studio - but it can also be run on Linux via mono... It can be developed on Linux as well - although none of the IDEs are really mature enough yet imho... Consider learning C# instead.

Tuxiscool Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Visual C++ is not a language, but an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that you may use to compile C++ programs. You can use it to compile executables for Windows. Under Linux/UNIX-based OSs you will want to use g++ (Part of the GNU Compiler Collection, GCC). I disagree about learning C# instead of C++. C++ has a much broader collection of cross-platform libraries available for you to learn and use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iphitus Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 (edited) this guy asked about C++. I dont see why other languages need to be introduced to the thread. Cause they're completely offtopic. As Tuxiscool said, there's some awesome tools to be used with C++ on Linux, depending on what you wish to do. If you want to know how to compile an app once you have written one, theres also a FAQ by Tuxiscool. It really depends on what you want to do, to be a able to give solid advice. Take a look around, maybe get a good book on C++. Not Visual C++. There aint no drag dropping here. iphitus Edited February 9, 2006 by iphitus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pwnious Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 look into REALBasic www.realbasic.com write software once deploy it on windows,linux and mac Basic uggh! Even though it is compatable with Linux, you should just do object-oriented programming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonEberger Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Visual C++ is not a language, but an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that you may use to compile C++ programs.

C++ has a much broader collection of cross-platform libraries available for you to learn and use. werd. plus it uses the ms c++ compiler, so there are some differences between g++ and vc++. compilation of the same code under ms on vc++ (visual c++) may work, but under g++ it may not. i'm not talking about anything big, but just standard code. i think ms vc++ is more forgiving, but not necessarily more correct. i'm a gcc fan and consequently g++. there are lots of gui's under linux for these purposes. if you're looking for a lot of help there are editors including some of the kdevelop stuff. but almost every editor (seriously) in linux provides syntax highlighting which is priceless.
