I know this is a *really* stupid question but what the hell is visual
c++? I downloaded it and it doesn't seem to work. It isn't like any c++
compiler I ever saw before and the manual on the Microsoft website did
not improve my comprehension of it at all. How do you compile your
source code with this thing? Is it a compiler at all? Am I crazy?
I know it would probably take too much time to answer my dumb questions
here but if you can point me in the direction of any info, it would be
much appreciated.
I know it might sound like I'm joking here, but I'm serious. I
downloaded this piece of software in the faint hope of reviving some of
my forgotten programming knowledge (took programming courses in
college, haven't done any programming recently, interested in taking it
up as a hobby) but I found I couldn't do anything at all with it! Boy,
do I feel like a fool.
