Question about Visual Studio .NET 2003?

Hi, I'm interested in learning C++. If I were to purchase Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 for Students, would I still be able to create regular C++ applications that Visual Studio 2003 does? Or would I have to use .NET syntax for all my C++ programs?

With Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003, you can write C++ programs that don't necessarily use the .NET framework.





But don't purchase MS VS .NET 2003 for learning purposes. Rather, download for free the MS VC++ 2005 Express Edition.

Reply:Since C++ is objcet oriented you could easily transfer that skill through to C#. The syntax is unfortunately different. If you rather compile C you could use GCC
