Entry-Level IDE

[pacjin]

Hi, I've taken a couple of online C++ courses, progammed extensively in
other procedural languages, want ot start writing engineering apps in
C++. Can someone suggest a cheap, adequate development environment,
e.g. available secondhand? Platform is Pentium HT running XP Home
Edition.

Thanks for any ideas.

You can download Visual C++ Express for free from microsoft.

It is however not second hand

Try Dev-C++ from www.bloodshed.net, not second hand but it is free.

Thanks to everyone who responded. MS VC++ and Bloodshed/MinGW look
good, will check them out.
