Hello All,

I am thinking of picking up C++.
Just wondering which is the best compiler that I should go for? Any
help.
My main application is in computational finance.

Thank you.

If you are developing on Windows, I would recommend Visual C++ 2010 Express edition.

Choose a compiler that runs well in your operation system.
Don't use Visual Studio for Linux or Mac. ;-)
I would choose a compiler with a sufficient IDE and a good help system.

If you need to display some of your finance data, you might want to take a
look at Qt. The Qt Creator IDE (integrated in the Windows installer, but
works in Linux, too) is really nice and you can use it for standard C++
programming, too.

If you are using Windows then Visual Studio Express editions are
pretty good. In Unix/Linux I personally like Code::Blocks IDE with gcc/
g++ compiler.
