Hey everyone,
I noticed someone a long time ago posted this link, and I did keep track of the link but not who submitted it here however currently I am learning C++ from the Visual C++.net learning edition. Awesome deal from walmart, you get a fairly easy to read course book for C++, and you get the FULL Standard edition of Visual C++.net for $72.85.
The MSRP for this book is 119.99 so a incredible savings, and you get a very well laid out compiler for the windows platform. Here is the link and thanks to the person who posted it originally probally over a year ago.

I have read a few other books on programming and they were terrible in thier attempt to define it, however microsoft press is getting very good at targetting the new user.
Enjoy,
David

The only versions that restrict you from distributing what you make are the Educational license versions.

No... You can distribute what you make with the Standard Edition. The Standard edition doesn't include the optimized compiler.The only versions that restrict you from distributing what you make are the Educational license versions.

Allows you to have the optimized compiler that is only found in VS 2003 or C++2003.net pro, they released it for free and I am installing it now to check it out.

Dreamer you are mistaken, Learning edition of which I have visual C++ 6.0 learning edition you cannot distribute your work, and every compile you make it includes a text box stating that when you run your program. This is the Standard which means it doesn't come with some of the extended libraries. Here is the link to Visual C++.net from microsoft.http://msdn.microsoft.com/howtobuy/visualc/default.aspx

it's interesteing that when you start there is only 1 thread... My app magically jumped to 3 threads after some engine mods... and then magically for no apparent reason jumped to 5 threads one day....
Just goes to show that introductory edition really can be better then pro... he he

I use VC++ 6.0 Introductory Edition... So everytime you run TorqueDemo.exe you get a pop up (for every THREAD) that tells you you can't distribute... it's interesteing that when you start there is only 1 thread... My app magically jumped to 3 threads after some engine mods... and then magically for no apparent reason jumped to 5 threads one day....
