      Dang!

      So I'm just suppose to use trials then LOL? I guess that could work!

      EDIT
      Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional $1,079 US
      Visual Studio .NET 2003 Enterprise Developer $1,799 US
      Visual Studio .NET 2003 Enterprise Architect $2,499 US

      Ouch

        Yeah, that seems pricey, but just be glad you don't do 3D modeling for a living.

        Try a package like Maya Unlimited: $6999

          Be thankful you don't have to buy Vignette Storyserver. Can run upwards of $250,000. That's not a typo. One Quarter of a Million Dollars.

            looks at bank account and esitimates how many life times itd take to pay it off

              In any case, Maya has a PLE (personal learning edition) version, that has all functionality of Maya Unlimited. just that a watermark will come in anything u develop
              + the data format wont be same as commercial one.

              but Maya PLE is free. => they like developers

                And all this with c# ?!? Good luck.

                  C/C++ is the languarge for you... I'm programming it, and have never been pissed about it... It's damn fast, mutch faster than Java... C/C++ have been the languarge used the last 20 years, and nothing seems to take it's place... The hole Linux and Windows are build with C/C++, and C/C++'es function there allows you to add assembler directly into the code!

                  if you like the php syntax, you like the syntax of C/C++.... start with C if you find it interesting then try C++.....

                  Comapilers:
                  You can go out and buy a new compailer form MS and spend over 1000$ or you can simply download a C/C++ compailer for free, there can almost the same....

                  Try:
                  http://www.bloodshed.net/ (The page looks like a unprof page, but the compailer is build on gcc, there is the compailer there have eated most codelines in the workd!)

                  Hope i have done my job to guide you in the right direction!

                    I agree with Truti. Definately give dev-c++ a shot (see the link on the previous post).

                    I used it my first two years at uni (through two programming languages courses, one algorithms and one computer technology) and it was great. Much better than having to fork out for VS 6 (at those prices, I wouldn't ever consider VS.NET unless I got some serious discountage).

                    However, I do have a friend who has managed to get his mitts on the full enterprise version of VS.NET (as well as the alpha version of Longhorn), but I haven't looked at them yet.

                      Ok, C++ then, can anyone recommend some good books and sites with info?
