Gigi, If you are asking to find the cheapest way, then use no IDE. But if you are starting, that would be painful. Most all packages from MS have a 90-day free, etc. that may get you through a tough time. You are asking for a simple answer to a complex problem (i.e. "42")...
In addition, "free" can mean different things. Licensing (the application of the sw you will be making, or even whether you will develop in a corporate environment, etc) is more than just "free version". You didn't give any information about your environment, goals/objectives, time limit, your skills/experience, where the sw will be installed, whether you would charge for services/RTU licensing, etc., etc., etc. Change any of the things in the above paragraph, and you can change a pay piece of sw to free, or vice versa. All of this is good, BTW... pat :) On Nov 5, 12:49 pm, Cerebrus <[email protected]> wrote: > As for the last question, as Processor pointed out, languages and > their compilers are always free.
