Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003

Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003

The Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 includes the core tools developers
need to compile and link C++-based applications for Windows and the .NET
Common Language Runtime:

Microsoft C/C++ Optimizing Compiler and Linker. These are the same
compiler and linker that ship with Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional!

C Runtime Library and the C++ Standard Library, including the Standard
Template Library. These are the same static-link libraries included with
Visual Studio.

Microsoft .NET Framework Common Language Runtime. Visual
C++ can optionally build applications that target the Common Language
Runtime (CLR).

Sample code. The toolkit includes four samples designed to
showcase the powerful new features of the 2003 version, including new
optimization capabilities, features to improve code-security and
robustness, enhanced ISO C++ standards support, and the ability to use the
..NET Framework library and target the CLR.

Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003

The Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 includes the core tools
developers need to compile and link C++-based applications for
Windows and the .NET Common Language Runtime:

The .NET framework SDK includes C++, C#, and Visual Basic compilers for free
also
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...a6-3647-4070-9f41-a333c6b9181d&displaylang=en
Maybe also J# with the free redistributables. 108 MB Download total.

Microsoft C/C++ Optimizing Compiler and Linker. These are the same
compiler and linker that ship with Visual Studio .NET 2003
Professional!

I'm not sure how much optimizing the free stuff does relative to Visual
Studio EA

Note: these are command line tools. .NET SDK Can be used with SharpDevelop
IDE: http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/
However it is really designed for C#. Also owned by Microsoft now, too, I
think. Not sure about the C++ Toolkit.

C Runtime Library and the C++ Standard Library, including the Standard
Template Library. These are the same static-link libraries included
with Visual Studio.

May require also require the platform SDK to do some things. (up to ~170+ MB
download) for the whole thing.

All of these packages are a real bargin. also the VB .NET Resource Kit

I would like some advise on the difficulty for me to learn how to program
with this. I have programmed for a hobby using qbasic. I have looked at
Python and XBasic.

Would this or Visual Basic take more time than I might want to spend
learning for just a hobby.

Thank you,
Steve McGrew

If you have the time to devote you can buy a good book to assist. I
had a class with the VB .NET and the text book was pretty bad. I
bought a 3rd party book and it has a CD with chapter programs in it.
This makes it easy, read, view code, copy code and compile, play with
the code, recompile, etc.

I chose the only real book the local bookstore had: Mastering Visual
Basic .Net, by Evangelos Petroutsos. (1148 pages)
