Go to Microsoft"s home page.  They have a free C++ and a Visual basic compliler under free software.

C++ will allow you to build much more robust applications.  Visual Basic is good for more simple programs and even learning the fundamentals of programming logic.

Visual C++ is available for free as long as you download it by November of this year and register it.  It is a great IDE :-)\n\nhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/\n\nGood luck.

Check out the site at http://www.pscode.com - I don't do C++ but I use that site all the time for Visual BASIC stuff I work on.

I dont know that VB works on macs, being a microsoft language and all, but for C++, just search for a c++ mac IDE. Might want to learn java these days though, much easier than C++.

Sam's Teach Yourself series is always good. If you just need basics, the For Dummies series works well. Microsoft Press's "Step By Step" books are also outstanding if you just want to quickly learn how to write programs with the Microsoft IDE.\n\nHowever, since Visual Basic 6 is a legacy product, why don't you invest in a book about Visual Basic .NET 2005?

Well for an official and thorough comparison between Visual Basic 6.0 and Visual Basic .net refer http://www.microsoft.com/learning/syllabi/en-us/2562bfinal.mspx\n\nCoz let me tell you will find wat you are looking for and which we all also won't be able to tell you.

I commonly recommend "Visual Basic .NET Step By Step" by Microsoft Press, which, as its name implies, takes you step by step through how the language works, using projects to demo new concepts. \n\nYou could also give a try to "Beginning Visual Basic. NET" by Wrox, which is more aimed at teaching you the language itself, unlike Step By Step, which is more aimed at teaching you how to do certain things with the language.\n\nSearch for them at amazon.com and you can see preview pages, etc.

Best and easy to use is Visual C++ Express 2005 (it's free)http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualC/default.aspx\nand you can get complete information on Microsoft's Vc++ from http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/ infact there are video lessions and how Do I.. Guides at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177549\n This will be the best compiler to use  as you are doing development in windows xp . As it will provide you with good API's (IT's a COMPILER + IDE)\nThere is another free compiler http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html . It's a good compiler , if you want to be vendor neutral.\nThere is another free compiler called GCC (this is a GNU compiler (i.e Open Source and free too) you can get complete information on this from http://gcc.gnu.org\nand you can download the compiler from http://gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html\nWith this compiler you can do development on many operating systems with the same toolset.
