Hey im Jak ,
I do do some coding in byond ,but i'd like to further my knowledge to another language.
I have been reading some posts on forums across the internet and c++ so far has taken me the most.
I understand it is one of the hardest if not the hardest language to learn but the possibilities i could achieve with c++ are endless in my opinion.
Now to the point Im wondering whats the best compiler and other programs that are free as im low on $$$,also any forum's out there that would be a good place to start like byond has its developer forum.
Thank you in advance
if anyone wants to contact me about this add my pager or msn [email protected]

Visual Studio 2010 is best I've found so far for myself.
If you'll have any other questions, just ask. | |
I'm assuming that you're developing on Windows. In terms of free compilers and other software, I'd recommend MinGW and Code::Blocks. Eclipse can also be used for C++ development, though I have a bit of distaste for it. If you're on Linux, GCC serves faithfully.
If you seek a simpler editor, you can write the code in something like Notepad++, though some of the features offered by programming-specific IDEs are missing in this general-purpose editor.
