1.) What program do you guys use to code in C++?
Depends on the box I'm working on...Dev-C++ with gcc (MinGW) on one, Crimson with gcc (Cygwin) on another, and Eclipse with gcc (MinGW) on the last one. I like Eclipse, but it hogs a lot of resources on weak machines like my laptop. Rarely Visual Studio .NET 2003 or 2005.

2.) Where did you guys start? Like what specific books did you read ect to get where you are now?
Can't remember the title of the book I first used (this is the second or third time it's come up, so I really should look that up sometime

). Didn't teach me a whole lot (it was
very basic. and I knew some C already). Most of the stuff that was actually new to me was from online tutorials (in addition to the stuff here at </DIC>, cplusplus.com is pretty good) and reading through the documentation at msdn.
