- Visual C++ is Microsoft's brand name for their C++. It's got some
- good visual tools for drawing dialogs and such for Windows and a code
- generator that makes writing applications easier in some cases. Other
- PC versions of C++ offer similar tools.
-
- I'm not acquainted with C++ compilers for the Mac, but would be very
- surprised if they didn't offer similar tools.
-
- There is a Visual C++ for the Mac but it's quite expensive and it's
- main purpose is to allow targeting applications for both the PC and
- Mac. I've never used it and have no idea how good it is, but my
- impression is that you'd not want it if you're developing only for the
- Mac.
