C++ on OS9

[pileofheads]

Hey, what do I need to start learning and compile-ing C++ on my Mac OS9 Machine? I don't plan on sticking to this machine, by the time I get good, but I need to start learning it ASAP.

Thanks.

If you're looking for a free compiler/IDE, my recommendation would be MPW.

It takes a bit to learn to use it, but once you do, it's a great environment. However, it's probably not a good place to start. First of all, do you know C? I'd definitely recommend learning C before/instead of C++. And in my opinion, the best place to learn C is on the command line on a UNIX-based system. Trying to learn C in a GUI environment is like trying to learn to swim by being thrown in the deep end.

Anyway, that probably wasn't very helpful... Sorry. :)

you can also pick up code warrior learning addition for dirt cheap. It has a bunch of tools to do most basic programming.
