Visual C++ is regular C++ with the added bonus of being able to visually design graphical interfaces for Windows. That's the visual part, it has nothing to do with the programming language.





Visual C++ and the Express version are mostly similar, the differences are subtle, the expensive version contains a few features that enterprises typically need, but the Express versions are incredibly feature packed and good enough for most development, even in commercial enterprises.





Use Visual Studio as the code editor and as a debugger.
Reply:The express versions lack some of the programming tools of the regular versions. Visual C++ is an IDE for the C++ language - and you can program C++ with it.





For hobby programmers, the express version should suffice.
Reply:It's just a program, Microsoft puts it out. They're trying to use the good name "Visual Basic" gave them.
