C/C++

[marko]

hi I am Marko and I am new in C++ so I have some questions.

1.First of all I want to know which C++ is the best, does it Visual C++ or
Borland C++ or other?
2.If I use Visual C++ (like I do) can I use my knowledge in VC++ to write
programs in Borland C++, and does it code for VC++ same like other C++ compiler
like Boland?
3.Can I write programs for Linux and Windows in same C++ compiler and can
I use Visual C++?
4.Where can I find good tutorials for C++ on Internet?
5.Many web sites on Internet offers many jobs for C/C++ programmers and I
do not understand it very well. When they said “C/C++ programmers” do they
mean for Visual, Borland or other C++?

thanks

Each has their advocates. But the answer also depends on what you mean
when you say "best", and what platform you're developing for.

The C++ part is likely to be the same, but there may be different
libraries/frameworks available for the different compilers. I don't know
if Borland C++ ships with a version of MFC, which is the framework
you're likely to be using if you write Visual C++ programs.

Visual C++ does not have a Linux cross-compiler. The current version (6)
of Visual C++ will only allow you to develop Windows applications (or
Windows console applications) out of the box. But if you were careful
to write portable code, you could rebuild a console application using
g++ on Linux.

Some starting points:
http://www.devx.com
http://developer.codeguru.com (for MFC examples)
http://www.mvps.org

It depends on the job.
