Visual C++

[everlearnin]

I have slowly been learning c++ on my own, and I’m currently learning the ideas of OOP. Some of the material I have refers a lot to Visual C++.

Is this another language (related to C++) or something else?

Thanks for knowledge!

Visual C++ is a complier from Microsoft.
You can get it with Microsoft Visual Studio.

Thanks I have started to download. 174MB at 5KB a sec. Crazy stuff. Well now I can continue learning OOP stuff while I am downloading Visual Studio.

As I understand from my research that Visual Studio contains libraries that let you output into window applications. Any idea where I can find information on what "keywords" to use?

For instance I am using "cout" and the "<<" operator in console applications. But what do you use when program with Visual C++?

Well, actually I've never programmed window applications, so I can't help you with that, but with Visual C++ you can program anything which is standard c++, plus you can make windowed applications more easily, but that won't be portable. I'm sure there are portable C++ GUI ( Graphical user interface ) libraries, but I haven't used them, so maybe somebody else will be able to help you :)
