I have till now mainly concentrated on web programming thus far and now want to enter application programming space. I use a mac, and wanted to know what sort of compilers, IDEs etc people generally use for c++ dev.
extremely n00b
One more thing immensely bothering me was the fact that c++ compilers generally output .exe which can’t be used on macs. I need to understand basic OOP programming fundamentals and thought c++ would be the best choice. Please suggest something.
C++ is not restricted to .exe files…. window PE files are one container format for machine code. A C++ binary can be encased in any low-level container format you can think of.
Objective-C on the mac can be a very pleasant language to learn, also Java. Do you really need to learn C++ at this junction ? C++ is suited to low-level programming problems — i.e., video games, system software, and generally performance-critical software (photoshop and imovie).
