I noticed you listed pascal but forget the object-pascal language delphi how could you!!!!! lol. It's much easier to learn then c++ and the like aslo(very close to vb but much better).

Aslo if anyone decides to try delphi www.delphipages.com/threads is a good place to get help with delphi specific topics. Also www.delphibasics.co.uk is a good place to start when your first getting into it.

I wrote an on-post DLL tutorial, because many posts have been coming up, asking how to make DLLs with C++, so if anyone asks, please just redirect them to this topic.

Since you listed all that free programming stuff, and since Liberty BASIC isn't free I thought I'd mention Just BASIC, which is the free version of Liberty BASIC.

It doesn't seem like it can create dlls.

ASM Assembly RAD Application
RadASM is an RAD (Rapid Application Development) tool compatible with many ASM compilers, including MASM32 the most popular one.
Basically it features a load of premade templates, for DLL's etc, as well as an interface similar to that of VB6 where you can make forms and resources just like the Design View in Visual Studio.

I was wondering, which is the easiest one to understand and to work with, I want the fastest and the most efficient.

Or do I need to try all of them.

[Chesso]

Well borland delphi itsn't free(well there are free versions around i think) but it's as easy as learning visual basic and you can create dynamic link library's(dll's) with it as well as compile executables as stand alone or using a runtime(like visual basic or java does).

I use MinGW Developer Studio
Its a very big download but I like it.

I use assembly but only because I haven't taken the time to learn C/C++
Some people would rather die than try assembly though
I think you either love it or hate it.

I'm also trying to learn Assembly as while as C/C++.

[Porfirio]

Assembly is just themost powerfull language in the world.....
But its the most hard too
For making single things you need tones of commands

Does Dev-C++ come with a library of all the C++ functions it can use? I downloaded it and I have to move it to a different computer before I install it. So I wanted to know before I move it.

Yes, it comes with the MingW header files and import libraries.

[LizardMan]

How Do I use them?

[RiChArD_fLoOd]

at the begining of your code put

#include<stdio.h> or whatever header file u want.
if the program knows where to find them that is
