I'm just wondering what version of C++ do you use? Right now i only have Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition but i don't really get how to use it? Does anybody know a very easy to use C++? Please give me the download link if you do.
Thanks.

The forums are littered with threads about good compilers, here are two that you may find useful:

but I would say; spend a little time with Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition, read the help files, learn how to use it, it is one of the better free IDEs/Compilers out there.

PS. I mainly use Microsoft Visual Team System Studio 2008.

Do you know where i can find a tutorial specifically on how to use Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition? That would help alot. I looked at some tutorials on how to use C++ but it always seems different from my version of C++.
