Microsoft Express Tools (WAS: c++ programming evironment)

Bruce,
Gonna start a new thread since this really has nothing to do with Fedora. Here is a link to the Express editions for the Microsoft tools...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express
Visual Studio essentially gives you a Microsoft-centric development environment centering around C#, Visual C++, and J#. SQL Server Express gives you a solid, yet simple, version of SQL Server. Both are free and licensed for commercial and non-commercial development. So, no real reason to spend cash to go from v6 to 2005 unless there are features you need.
If your app is a simple utility that is designed to be Windows only, then the Express editions should do the trick nicely. However, if you plan to do anything with it on Linux, Mac, or UNIX, it would probably be beneficial to look at something like Eclipse & CDT.
I hope this helps.

Good afternoon, everyone.
I just noticed this thread, originally posted by a fairly new
developer coming from a Windows environment. IMHO, most guys coming
from a M$ environment tend to get overwhelmed by how much they SHOULD
know about development and their environment but, sadly enough, do
not because of the "hand holding" that they have grown accustomed to
within Visual Studio. Admittedly, this was me some years back.
It would be great to let me know if this helps...

Be gentle... it's my first attempt in trying to put something like
this out there for the rest of the world. Hopefully, it's not my last.
Personally, I enjoy working in VS.NET and still promote the Express
editions of SQL Server and Visual Studio for Windows-only
development. However, that level of enjoyment is easily compared to
how wonderful it is to get comfy in a certain development environment
and to have it available on whatever platform I'm using.
Enjoy! =)
