  Hello Kaushik,

  You have come to the right place! I am sure that many will be happy to assist you in becoming a young software developer.

  I strongly recommend the VC++ 2005 Express Edition for you. However, there is better and easier to use materials for the VC# 2005 Express Edition. The question is whether you want to be competent with C/C++ or whether you want to be able to quickly develop for Windows and don't mind making C# applications for managed code (.NET).

  Whatever language you start with, you can also learn the other language later. It depends what is important for you to accomplish first.

  Assuming that you want a foundation in C/C++, I say start with the VC++ Express Edition. There are small books that can provide the basics for C and C++. You can use VC++ with those materials. Some C/C++ books are available on-line for free.

  Making Windows applications (rather than standard console applications) takes more work.

  How do you want to start

  I would be pleased to communicate with you by e-mail too, but I think here would be a great place that would also be valuable to other beginners. (My e-mail is dennis.hamilton@acm.org).

  Good luck!

  Also wanted to add that the official support for VC6.0 already expired so no fixes are made there.

  Thanks,

  I install Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition on a computer with Internet Explorer 6.0.

  I do not think you need IE 7.0 for development of ordinary VC++ applications.

  Do you have VC++ Express Edition on CD-ROM so you can re-install it whenever you want

  [I am looking up the book.]

  Correction:
  
  It is good: VC++ is very good because it's easy to use. V means Virtual. You can use GUI functions to write codes and manage many source files. C++ is good becase this language is the base from which Java, C# and other modern languages are spawn.
  
  Virtual should be Visual!

  Is the book "Desktop Applications for Microsoft VC++ 6.0: MCSD Training Kit (for exam 70-016)"

  This book will have good questions and examples for VC++ usage. It is out of print. (The exam was retired in 2004.)

  I have ordered a copy for myself. It may take 7 or 8 days to arrive.

  First, we must assist you to have VC++ 2005 Express Edition installed.

  Hi, I will try to answer your question.
  
  Is VC++ 6.0 good I would say it is good or bad.
  
  It is bad: Version number 6 is really old. The current number is 8.
  
  It is good: VC++ is very good because it's easy to use. V means Virtual. You can use GUI functions to write codes and manage many source files. C++ is good becase this language is the base from which Java, C# and other modern languages are spawn.
  
  If you want to know more about C++, visit http://public.research.att.com/~bs/homepage.html. As you know, every language is designed by a human being like us. The creator of C++ is Dr.Bjarne Stroustrup. The aforementioned Web site is HIS!
  
  Mr.James Gosling, creator of Java, once said that one could master Java half a day if her or she understands C++ well.
  
  Hope this helps.

  Yes.

  First: What is the title of the book on VC++ 6.0

  Second: Who is the author of the book

  I want to check how it can be adjusted to use with VC++ 2005 Express Edition.

  Third: Do you have VC++ 2005 Express Edition yet

  Visual Studio 2005 and VC++ 2005 are the latest released versions. As Mike mentioned, the Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition is available for free.

  The book on Visual C++ 6.0 might not work well with Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. If the book includes a copy of the VC++ 6.0 starter edition (some do) you can use that with the book.

  If you want to use Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition, the VC++ 6.0 book is probably not going to work, as Mike already pointed out. Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) were featured with VC++ 6.0 and those are not supplied with the 2005 Express Edition. (They are available with professional versions of VC++ 2005.)

  If you are a beginner, I would recommend that you start with VC++ 2005 Express Edition and use one of the books that works with it. (I have some suggestions here.) Then you have some decisions to make about which kind of application you want to build and the upgrades (and experience) that you need to accomplish that. The free Express Edition is a low-risk starting point and you can decide more after getting a little practice.

  Well... you could use VC++ 6.0 but that's too old really. VC++ 6.0 was released about 8 years ago and I'd say that the quality of the C++ compiler and the IDE itself improved a bit since then .

  Not to mention that there is a free version of VC++ 2005 called "Express" (though it does not have support for MFC and ATL) see:
