I think he meant, that C++ (the language itself) is far more complicated than Visual Studio IDE.

Yes. I would've said Visual C++ if I meant the compiler. I'll edit my post for further clarity, though.

Quote:Actually, I agree - you can learn how to use an IDE in a few days, and learn the rest of it when you need it. However, to learn C++... Let's just say, that it takes a lot longer than a few days to learn C++ language.

I would recommend Visual Studio 2005, or .NET 2003 if you can get hand on them because Visual C++ (probably 6.0 you got) is way crappier.

For clarity: Visual C++ is part of Visual Studio, not distinct product lines.

Microsoft felt the need to just go stir crazy with the terminology mismashing:
e.g. "Visual Studio/C++ 5"'s package contained Visual Studio '97
e.g. "Visual Studio/C++ [.NET] 2005"'s package contains Visual C++ 8.0

Also, VS2005 Express Download Link.

But yes, VS6 is a horrible 9 year old prestandard piece of crap. Evidence of it's evil nature:


Hopefully he's using a modern version like we've been assuming :3.

The lexicon of myself and the people I generally know:

C++               :=  The (Standardized) C++ LanguageVisual C++    ___ :=  The Microsoft C++ CompilerVisual Studio ___ :=  The Microsoft IDEVisual ______  6  :=  A Joke
