the last build was 2005 but dev packs are kept on a public repository and are up to date as far as i know. the ones i use are. its still better than msv imo. i use dev-cpp for allegro, allegroGL, OpenGL, and SDL game programming and msv-c++ for directx.

Hm. I use and feel more comfortable with Code::Blocks, even though there hasn't been an official public release in years (nightly builds though, which are very stable and good). It can also use Devpacks now that I think of it.
im learning a* pathfinding right now for an assignment. mouse in a maze.
my prof showed us how to do left hand/right hand pathfinding but that only works on walls. its good enough for the assignment but i always go all out lol.
@jon - i use dev-c++ for allegro programming and i fail to see how it is shite.
never the less i use msv-c++ for all my school work. and notepad for everthing else and just compile with g++ on linux.
ive gotten everything set up in visual studio express.
directx sdk (august 200, SDL, Allegro4.2.2, XNA studio, Dark GDK.
very pleased.
would it be worth it to buy visual studio 2008 pro? its like a 700$ purchase but my school for some reason is selling the discs and key for 130$. usually a used copy (no box or documentation, just a disc sleeve with the product key on it) with student discount so that accounts for the super low price. ive grown to love msv but does anyone know whats so much better about professional then express? one is free and the other is almost a $$grand.
I use Dev-C++ long before cecil visited these forums. It was great for its time, far above the horrible Borland and Turbo C++ that the unis provided for free. It's still good now, they fixed up a lot of the old bugs I hated. If any of you know a better one, let me know.

No, there are plenty of free tutorials and compilers out there. It's 100% possible to learn it without a diploma. (Or was that question a joke?) I should continue learning C++ sometime. I started on it last year, but lost interest after learning most of the basics. I'll get back to it eventually!
