If you are fine with any c compiler, you can get visual c++ 2005 express from microsoft site.  It's very good and it's free.\n\nTurbo c++ is quite old and may not support many new c++ features.

I got a BS in CompSci in 1983 and an MS in 85. I was taught PL/C, Fortran, APL and SNOBOL. I didn't touch a terminal for 2 years. I used computer cards.\n\nBack then, C++ didn't exist. Neither did Java, XML, C# or any of the other stuff you mentioned. \n\nBut what I did gain from school was the ability to keep learning and improve my skills. I've been in software development since I graduated. I've learned C++, Java, UML and Design Patterns through work training or just on my own. I'm constantly learning new stuff. This week I programmed the Visitor Design Pattern for the first time and wished I had known the technique years ago.\n\nI've adapted, and you will need to as well. By the time you graduate half of what you mentioned above will be gone or radically changed.\n\nYour school will take a lot of our decision making away through required courses. Fill in our free electives with the courses that excite you. Don't forget to take fun non-computer courses as well.\n\nGood luck.

Pick up DEITEL book. Perhaps "How to Program Java" or "How to Program C++". Yes it will take longer to learn, but in the long run you will have a lot more power creating your own software.

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

Try using C, its easier than C++ and useful for small programs you dont want to learn c++ for. A great compiler is available free at\nhttp://forums.miniclip.com/showthread.php?t=11976\nAnd to learn c, you can try googling it or uhmm, yahooing it lol.\ntheres loads of resources for it. You might also try java, its even better for small,portable programs, but its slower, and im nto sure theres any free complete versions of it.

You could learn to program using any multiple of languages that are free.  C, C++, Java and you can even download a legal copy of Visual Studio - Express edition, which is free in the UK on the cover of Computer Shopper magazine.  There are many sites that are geared towards programming games with examples and ideas.  It's not something you can do in a week, but if you're that interested, then there's no time like the present!

You can download (for free!) either Visual Basic 2005 Express or Visual C++ 2005 Express from Microsoft (see link below).  When you register the program (also free), you'll be able to download a free ebook called "Build a Program Now!".  I really, really liked the Visual Basic version but my guess is that the C++ version is just as good.

When it comes to programming books, O'Reilly is pretty much the gold standard:\nhttp://www.oreilly.com/pub/topic/cprog\n\nBut if you're on a budget, you can find a dozen or so free on-line books on C++ programming here:\nhttp://www.freeprogrammingresources.com/cppbooks.html
