What are the Best C++ Development Software for Beginners? I know absolutely no programming code what so ever. I have heard there are VISUAL C++ development tools that require no coding knowledge and I also heard there are some development software that come with Prebuilt application components.
You can chose any IDE to program. But you must have knowledge about C++ before write any line of code. No software can help you.
Microsoft has one that will help you from ground up. No programing skills necessary. Here is the link
"No programing skills necessary". So when I want to display a message box containing the sum of the numbers I entered in textbox 1 and textbox 2, I just tell it in plain English? Of course you need programming skills... no IDE can take that fact away.

Microsoft Visual C++ is not very hard to get for free or cheap online. Not to say ive done it, but if you look in the right places there are ways to get it free.
Go get GCC and a good book. Sick of people cutting corners. The programming forums here are all people asking for script installation help...
Visual Studio 2005 C++ Express Edition is Free. I would recommend using Express 2005 rather than the Express 2008 linked to earlier in the thread as 2008 is still beta. Its pretty much identical (with a few of the more advanced features disabled) to the Visual Studio professional developers use and is more than good enough to learn a language. Jen
Yeah good advice. I would also recommend attending a workshop in your area to get acquainted with it (depending on where you are living). Last Month Microsoft was doing an expo 45 minutes from where I was. I could not go cause I had another class that day. But in any case it would be good to try and attend one of these.
