    Question VC6 or Borland C++Builder ?

    Hello!

    I often hear that it is easier to work with Borland C++ Builder
    than with VC++6. Is it right?

    Thanks for every info!

    There really is no right answer

    It depends on many other issues?

    1) What type of programs do you want to write? Which one has the better support libraries for you desired task?

    2) Which one can you get more support for? This includes co-workers/other students, friends, etc.

    3) Although MS has a reputation of being more expensive, standard VC7 is only $105 US. So financial issues (though they do exist) are minimal.

    In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; in practice there is.

    I think that BCBuilder has an easy way for making dialogs similar to the one of Delfi and Basic but although it supports MFC I think you had better use MSVC
    Microsoft has all software markets and MS programs are more ms compatable than borland programs. MFC is essental for windows programming. OWL (the borland object windows libarary) is dying.
    also for MSVC there is MSDN which is very conviniant and has an answer to almost every question (for the other ones there is CodeGuru )
    Little programmers work with BCBuilder... That's my advice but don't think its the best. The Builder might have some advantages of which i don't know about.
    Good luck deciding!
