I'm a student and have to research on programming. Well I have to build or purchase a system that would be used to develope and test software using C++, Visual basic and Microsoft Office VBA. I would just like some information on the best compilers and more info in VBA, I've done a bit of research on the Microsoft website but how do i get the software.

Would appreciate all the help I can get thnx.

A good compiler is of course the microsoft development studio. another that can compile c++ is TEXTPAD. a good java compiler is ecllips. VB compilers always come with the language. a moderate java compiler is JCreator or NETBEANS IDE. Visual Studio also has compilers for c/c++ vc/vc++ and several others.

hope this helps!
