huh, well, I chose VC++ cause you said "easy to learn" in your first post. But hey, if you don't like that gorge of a GUI VC++ has, then consider GIMP perhaps. I think that's the gcc equivilent for windows. I don't know if it has an IDE or not. LCC is good too (that's what I use), but it is only for C - not C++. You can also go to the Borland website and get there free Borland Command-Line Compiler, it is for C and C++ - absolutely no GUI, just compiler/linker type stuff.

If I were you, I'd ask myself a question: Do I want rapidly deployable applications with fewer options, or do I want in-depth applications with a multitude of options that I will spend more time on? If you want rapid deployment, learn PHP and Perl. Both free, both SIMPLE to learn. Took me 30 minutes to get the basics of Perl down. If you want in depth, take the route these guys suggest: C++. Go to your library, find the oldest, most beat up C or C++ book. Beat it up some more; make sure it looks old. Take it to the front desk and say that you think it's too old to be of any use anymore, and ask if you can have it or any other old 'puter books. This is what I do - I have 3 bookcases of books I didn't pay for at home. Have fun! Oh yeah - remember this word, "man", before you post anything to a message board  it'll save you time.

I'd have to say that a class is the best way to learn c++, I tried learning on my own.(hehe failed miserably) I picked up a little perl, html, basic on my own. But c++ and java are a little complicated cause they're object oriented. If you can catch on to that though you're all set. To answer your question, I'd start with C basics, then jump into C++.
