I know programming in c++. But do not know that what is visual c++.
I have never used it. Can you tell me about visual c++. and
What is the difference between visual c++ and c++.
Thanks in advance.......

C and C++ are mother of language.

very nice The most epic thread of our time

C and C++ are the basic foundation for the programming languages.

If not mistaken C is the first version, C++ is the second edition both are basic programming language where you need to code in everything and visual C++ is the the newest edition, where in if you want to make a box you can just select from the tool bar and drag it to the template.

I am using Borland C++ 3.5 .Now i want to learn Visual C++. I have no preior experience of Visual C++ .
My queries are
1-------What is the main difference between Dos based C++ & Visual C++. Can i develop Database application in VC++?
2------ What do u think that is VC++ is more strong language than Java ? which have more plus points ?
3------ I have also use VB6 . Has VC++ has same interface like vb6. Further please would u give me any site where a beginner can learn VC++ from the net.
My understanding is that DOS C++ is making strictly DOS programs. Once you get into Visual C++, you can develop Windows-like applications - Y'know, you can have menus, buttons, dialog boxes, all the nice visual aspects of Windows. No more ugly console window.

Personally, I like VC++ better than Java, but that's just opinion. You could search on Google or something to find reviews and comparisons of each.

In reality, the only difference is the program you use to make and compile the program. Visual C++ lets you make the dialogs visually pasting buttons and textboxes on the dialogs.

You can do the exact same thing from a DOS compiler. It is simply a matter of including the correct headers and using the correct APIs and functions. The syntax is the same.

Here are some sites that give you an idea about VC++ and VB. I personally suggest staying as far away from VB as you can. It is a very simple language, but is not very quick or powerful.

Basically speaking, C++ is a language. Visual C++ is a development tool based on C++. Visual C++ use all C++ syntax. On top of C++, Visual C++ adds class libraries (like MFC), IDE and UI development tools for Windows.

If you are developing Windows applications. Visual C++ is a good tool for you.
