Ah, well, I use MSVC at school, so I can''t do either of the two things.

Time for my 2 cents, MFC programs are ugly, they stink of Microsoft! Make your programs fullscreen and add your own controls/ui it''s always the more aesthetic way to go. Ugh I hate grey menu bars......
Hey All,
I am a Progress (4GL) Analyst Programmer, but in my spare time (which doesn''t consist of much, considering I am married and have a 5yr old son), I code in C++ for graphics purposes, as one day I would like to be involved in the Game Industry. Anyway I taught myself to program in C++ using Borland, which is a fantastic IDE. But recently have started using Visual C++, as this seems to be supported more. What I mean by this is, if you are still learning then probably best to stick to Visual C, as most tutorials and examples you find around the web are based on either Visual C or GNUCPP(free compiler, which is also very good).
But all are virtually the same (There''s one of those WAR starters again).
Anyway there is my two cents worth on the IDE discussion.

Heh I can''t resist putting my two cents on a big MFC sucks/r0x discussion.
I''ve used MFC but in the end I decided that it''s way to bulky to build any kind of efficient program. I use it when I want a quick little app to do some small task for me. In the end though I got pissed off at it and wrote my own window classes, mostly because it means I have total control over what happens and I KNOW exactly what is happening.
I never learned more than when I finally said MFC sucks, and decided to figure out how it works and cut out the fat.

A good compiler can''t help a bad software developer. We can sit here all day fighting over what is realy just "my compiler is bigger than your compiler" but i think that is pointless, you?
Borland is much better!
be it the optimizations or be this the code.
