The Compiler...Bah

I have been coding C++ now for about 3 months, just learning the ropes, experimenting with Irrlicht, things like that. Being better in languages like PHP, I don't get the issue of compilers. I am interested in writing an application for Linux and Windows. Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003 looks like a GREAT compiler, but is it possible to run on Linux? If so, then I will be set, otherwise...I'm not XD.

Unless, if I create my project with MSVC .NET 2003, is it possible (with somewhat bit of ease) to port it to a Linux compiler and just compile it there?

Thanks,
Mike

For linux? Learn how to use Emacs and GCC. MS VS won't work unless you find a way to emulate it. I don't recommend using it either for linux. Emacs is so much better!

Of course, that is my opinion.

I've been trying to get used to emacs cause I need to convert over to linux from windows, but programing in windows on UltraEdit is so easy for me, but I bet that everything I can do in UE, I can do in emacs, so I'd be interested in the configuration file you use for emacs?

Heehoooo
If you want to develop c++ codes in linux, try KDevelopment!
Emacs is a word editor, and a pgrmer worked under windows platform will feel blaaa when working with the word editors..Brther try KDevelopment! It is gr8! If you want to work MS applications try SuSE. You cant run Visual Studio under Linux...eventhough there are some simulators.. try it

He was talking about C++...

JAVA runs smootly in linux...you have to install JVM for linux..
