[CyberCarsten]

Hello!
I'm a beginner beginner beginner at c++!!!
Therefore I have the following Q's

1. Does any of U know any really good tutorials?
2. My version of c++ is Borland C++ 4.5 - Is this an old version?
3. Does anyone know where I can get the MetroWerks CodeWarrior?.....for free :o)))
4. When I want to develop a 32 bit app, I have write something in a .def file! What is this??

For tutorials, go to http://www.planet-source-code.com. I cannot help you with the rest of your questions as I do have Borland C++.

You can get a lot of help with tutorials, but I would suggest buying a book like Teach your Borland C++ in 24 hours and Teach yourself Borland C++ 3 in 21 days(it may be old but it is still relevant). I believe the newest version is BC++ 5.0. As for your other questions, I don't know much about them.

Q3: Try a warez site :)
Q4: It's only for DLLs - it holds a list of the functions.

Even BC++ 5 is pretty old, the newest I belive is Borland C++ Builder 4 or 5, I have verison 3 professional, Borland C++ Builder, is as comparative to VC++, as BC++ 4.5 is compared to one of the MS C++ compilers.

Personally Codewarrior isn't that great. I used it in a camp a few weeks back. Borland is much better.

Just my $0.02

I was actually going to say the same thing about codewarrior, I was a teacher at one of those camps, and I kept wondering why they wouldnt use Borland, the camp director mentioned it was because Imprise(aka borland) refused to lisence ACE Computer camp any copies. I personally hated codewarrior.

I prefer the Developer Studio environment. It seems much cleaner and I like the editor.
