Re: C++ download!

First step is to download a compiler, which matches your operating system

Re: C++ download!

I recommend that you get the dev c++ bloodshed IDE and then go to devpaks.org and download allegro to get into "cool" graphical programming. Command prompt stuff does not impress friends very much...

No it doesn't, but it's the best way to learn. You must learn to walk before trying to run. Starting off with console apps is easy and educational, and then once you've got the hang of it, you can decide what type of C++ programming you want to get in to.

Also, some people discourage the use of Dev-C++ because although it's a very good compiler, development has basically stopped, so if you want a compiler that will stay up-to-date, I would recommend going with Code::Blocks (not that Dev-C++ is outdated now, but it will be in the future if development continues at this rate).

I concur in that console programming is where a newbie should start if obliged to learn writing programs in C\C++. But consider how he asked if he could download C++...? One might be compelled to interpret that he is not familiar with programming in general in which case I'd suggest start by learning the concepts of programming. C\C++ are relatively difficult languages to start learning for a newbie, especially ones that don't have any prior knowledge of programming. For a newbie, I'd recommend learning Perl, Visual Basic or Java to start out with then work your way up.

If not here is a well known link to a website containing material for C\C++: http://www.cprogramming.com

Post Script: I also agree that Code::Blocks is a great C++ IDE. So many sharp minds out there, astonished I have become. I'm not Yoda.

Good luck, LamaBot

I've see a lot of mention of this compiler here, but I don't remember anyone posting a link. Wouldn't that be a good idea when it's recommended?

Am I missing your point completely? ~s.o.s~ posted the link in the second post, should the site be linked in every post that's about code::blocks then?
