Visual C++ is a programming language which is a part of the general ‘C suite’, sometimes referred to as MSVC ( Microsoft Visual C++).
It is used for a number of development projects and was first released in 1993, with the most recent release in March 2017.
It is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) tool that is used for a number of C-based programming languages. The software contains a number of various code handling, developing and debugging tools that are used for the Microsoft Windows application programming interfaces (APIs), in addition to the Microsoft .NET platform.
The Microsoft Visual C++ software will be particularly useful for C++ Developers; however, there will also be other IT professionals that will be aware of, and be able to use VC++.
