Go up one level in this thread


Go for Ansi-C, that will make the program more portable. The Borland compiler is
not exactly a piece of junk, but it's not worth even the time it takes to
register to get it. GCC is a good alternative, then you will have the choice of
C and C++ or even mixing it up. The only real drawback is that the STL
implementation is not up to speed yet. If you are going to develop in windows
you could use Cygwin or Mingw32. There are some good IDE's available too. If you
think learning OO is really important you should choose some OOP language
instead: Sather, Eiffel (SmallEiffel f.ex) or Smalltalk spring to mind. Or if
you still want to Assemble try High Level Assembly (HLE).
