Visual C++ VS Dev-C++ VS Anjuta

Currently, I am trying to learn how to create a window application using C++. I'm through with the console, and I want to move on. In my school, we got Visual C++, but I decided to get the freewares instead. I got myself Dev-C++ for window XP and Anjuta for Ubuntu Linux.

The first thing I noticed when I used Dev-C++ is that the codes for writing a window application is totally different from Visual C++. Is it probably because of Dev-C++ doesn't have MFC and vice versa? Honestly, I am a bit lost right now. I tried to look on the websites, such as programmersheaven.com, for examples of C++ source codes, but now, I want to know one thing first: How can we know which one is for Dev-C++ and which one is for Visual C++? Sure, I can grab the codes and compile on both programs and see if it runs, but there must be a better method to do this.

Now, for the Ubuntu Linux side, right now, I am missing a g++ compiler and probably several other more things for the program. I already downloaded them, but when I try to use add/remove, it seems to request me for the Ubuntu CD. Well, I got the CD...at home. (I lived in the dorm) Is there a way to work around this? I already tried type in "/cdrom/" but it still doesn't work.

I have several more questions for Anjuta:
When we create a window application, we do write the codes in Dev-C++ way, right? Or do we have another Anjuta-specific way of writing?
If we create an application with Anjuta, can Windows run Anjuta's program? My current understanding is that it shouldn't be possible.

Last question: In these three programs, Visual C++, Dev-C++, and Anjuta, could you please tell me which is the fastest?

Thank you very much.

as a suggestion, you might want to try using wx-Dev c++, since it uses the wx widgets libraries, that allow you have "standard" inteface programing for linux/windows/mac, meaning virtually no changes to interface code to migrate the application from one OS to another. The wx-Dev c++ also has a GUI designer like the one in netbeans. Besides it's Free software. more info Wiki.
Now even if i don't thrust Micro$uscks I must admit, the Visual studio compiler is faster, but only if you're patient enough to let it start :S


どうして罪があるのだろう
