If you really want the Microsoft Solution, VS is the way to go. I personally prefer GCC, but that's just me. Plus, it runs on linux too, so you could make that transition even easier on yourself. However, if you're looking for something a bit more lightweight, CodeBlocks is also rather good, and has the added benefit of being able to use basically any compiler you have installed (including several forms of GCC and the Microsoft Compiler that comes with Visual Studio) and being able to open project files fro other IDEs. Visual Studio is the Microsoft version, and although it has its issues, it is an excellent IDE for working with the code. If you're looking for an IDE, I have two recommendations. It is a program for Microsoft Windows (TM) that allows you to put an entire HTML application (including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Images, etc. That will compile your programs natively for windows, using a standard library, etc. Free Download DecSoft HTML Compiler full version standalone offline installer for Windows. I recommend that you use the MinGW distribution of GCC. This compiler, which generates code for Win32, Windows 3.1 (Win16), OS/2, Netware NLM, MSDOS (16 bit and 32 bit protected mode), etc, was a highly coveted compiler some years back (until Sybase terminated it). Its probably best that you use it until you become more comfortable with something else. The Watcom C/C++ compiler (now Open Watcom C/C++ compiler) is now open source and free. Its a standards compliant c/c++ compiler, and I use it for windows programs on a daily basis. GCC is not technically a linux specific compiler.
