Softwares are still being developed for various Operating Systems.

If you are a beginner, it is easier to learn C++ for DOS - use Turbo C Compiler/Editor it is a very good one

For Windows, VC++ is best. With VC++, you can develop applications for Windows but it needs you to learn GUI as well in C++.

Writing C++ for Unix/Linux is same as writing for DOS.

C++ for XP, Vista, etc is the same - only the operatig system has changed. The C++ developers might have added some new libraries to C++ for newer Windows versions though to write applications used in latest Windows versions.

Hope it helps

Writing C++ for Unix/Linux is same as writing for DOS.
That is not true. Basically, developing command line tools is very similar in any Microsoft OS or any other OS, that you can get a compiler for. So what you mean is: "Developing command line programs for Linux is the same as writing them for DOS." But in Linux you can use powerful graphical libraries too! (GTK and QT being the most widespread ones.)

Personally, I develop all my programs in Linux, but most command line tools should work on any system you compile them for.

Greetings,
Nepomuk

PS.: I'm guessing, that you're only really interested in Windows OSes, as you've asked this in the Windows Forum. If you want to know the differences between developing for various Windows versions, the C / C++ Forum may be a better place to ask.

What PHP Represents There is no shortage of complaints one could make about php as a language, and although the list does shrink with each release, some of them are inherent to the origins and development process of this, the most popular of the web-based, server-side, glue-languages.

What's better about Ruby than Python? I'm sure there's something. What is it? This is not a troll. I'm language shopping and I want people's answers.

So it seems that Ruby has the potential to compete with and displace Python. I'm curious on what basis it...

Obviously, most of you up here behave like the owners of the C++ language. A C++ interface installation IS ABOUT THE C++ LANGUAGE!
