How to develop a in XP

C++ and/or Java

Whats better C++ or Java
Plus what would i develop in?

C++ has better performance and is better for things like 3D games (it's a low-level language) whereas Java is more portable (but run inside a virtual machine).

If you're aiming for Windows only, C# (C Sharp) is a fair amount easier to code and ranks just under C++ with regards to performance.Last edited by Apolva; 10-08-2010 at 07:04 PM.

If you can, try to avoid Windows XP, it's a(n already dead) dying platform. You're best using the cool new stuff you can do with C# and C++ in Windows 7.
If you can, get MS Visual Studio 2010 for free from www.dreamspark.com, It doesn't matter what some people may say, it IS the best IDE out there

What i was trying to do was develop most of it on xp then move it over to android and after android the mac os.

In that case, I'd look at Java, the code will be mostly compatible with every major OS.
Ideally, you'd go (not necessarily that order):
Windows - C#
Android - Java
MacOS - Cocoa:8 Originally Posted by Chippiewill

In that case it's probably best you begin with Java, that way you'll be able to develop for pretty much any platform (most feature/smartphones support it with Java ME).
The Java IDE I use is NetBeans (simplifies the coding/compiling/debugging) - http://netbeans.org/

Check out Appcelerator, you can use Html, CSS, Javascript, Ajax, Ruby & Python to create awesome desktop apps that are cross platform.
