    Post Ways to learn programming without buying the full version....

    Many of you may already know this, but I have loved Microsoft's Visual Basic Control Creation Edition 5 http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/dow...ce/default.asp
    I cannot compile to EXE but that is about it.
    This free program has given me the ability to try programming without having to by the expensive software first.

    I am wondering if there is a similar way to do the same for C++.

    If you do a search for C++ on download.com, you could find a shareware/demo/freeware version of a c++ compiler.

    Really Lag? A 'free' C++ compiler that lets you retail the programs you make with it? Too good to be true! Do you know if it supports DirectX API's? If so, let me know where to find it...that is a must have!

    djgpp is the Windows port of the GNU c compiler...it is built for true standards-compliant C and C++ programming, so l seriously doubt if it supports ActiveX. But, if have ActiveX, l'm sure it cna be worked in.

    Keep in mind, this isn't an IDE, it is a compiler.
