What is the most cost effective way to break into Windows programming? The little intelligence I have gathered over a brief period of time suggest the following alternatives: 1. MSC 6.0 + SDK 2. Borland C++ 3. Actor and perhaps WRT I think I've listed the options in order of declining cost. I got a mailing from Whitewater today offering Actor for $99 and WRT for $119. Will I, as an experienced C programmer with keen interest but no real experience in OOD, like these tools? Or will I get a better choice of both the traditional and OOD paradigms from Borland C++? Does Borland C++ offer the same WRT as Whitewater has offered to sell me? If so, upgrading from Turbo C 2.0 for $99 looks like a big win. Does the SDK give me capabilities that neither Borland nor Whitewater do? Sorry if this has been beaten around before but my interest in this group is very recent. Roger Levy rl@groucho.att.com
