Visual Studio is amazing. I love some of it's features, especially debuging. The registers windows can be VERY helpful. Not to mention all the other features and crap it has. Though if you are looking for something free, Code::Blocks is available. It's pretty useful.

Total noob here, but what is the difference between studio and basic? Is it the language? The features??

Visual Studio is the IDE, but Visual Basic is a language that can be 'compiled' and ran. C++ is a native language, but you can still use Visual Studio to develop with C++, but you have to be careful, as you might end up adding a .Net dependency and not even use it lawl. Though there isn't anything wrong with the dependency.

I reccomend you read the following Wiki pages: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Also, getting an actual book on one of these languages wouldn't be a bad idea.

Yeah I have to agree. I've used Eclipse, Qt Creator, CodeBlocks, and Visual Studio. Out of all of them Visual Studio is by far the best development environment.

I'm with RDCA, Visual Studio is the way to go.

I just got the 2012 edition, and it's really nice.

Personally I like code::blocks

But I may grab VS 2012 because it looks like a lot has changed .
