Microsoft Visual C++

I just switched from Dev C++ to Microsoft Visual C++. This one is actually visual. So if you want to have more controls in front of your eyes, but not just in the code itself, you should use this one. It doesn't give as much freedom as Visual Basic, but at least I can see the forms and their controls. I also found out that for a beginner it's better to start with an MFC application: it writes the header and resource files automatically, so I don't have to write the codes I don't know yet. MFC is enough for the first applications, it helps to adjust.
