Of course!

You can use GNU C++. The easiest way to do this is with the Dev C++ IDE:

http://www.bloodshed.net

or perhaps http://www.mingw.org/ or http://www.cygwin.com

Enjoy.

I have Dev C++ but where can I find e-books, online tutorials for it? I'm cheap and only have ONE book.

I will buy more as I continue learning C++.

C++ is the same with every compiler (except from some small exceptions and bugs in certain ones), if that''s what you meant. Try cplusplus.com or cprogramming.com for some introductory tutorials.

a good place to get mingw for windows is from the mame site:

http://www.mame.net/download.html

just download mingw_for_mame.zip, unzip it, add the bin dir to your path and it''s installed.

There''s some useful win32 info/tutorials at the following...

Hope that helps...
