Hello,

Depends on what you are writing. For simple C or C++ programs, I like emacs and a Linux command prompt with the gcc or g++ compilers. If I am on my Mac, then XCode is really a cool piece of work. I also have Kdevelop and some other tools installed on my Linux box to do more advanced things there.

I am sure others have their favorites.

I'm using windows though, know of any windows IDEs?

Microsoft Visual C++... great IDE, very easy to use, but costly...
you could always go for Dev-C++, it should work fine for you

>Microsoft Visual C++... great IDE, very easy to use, but costly...
The standard edition is only $99US. Hardly costly unless you're a student with no cash. Though Dev-C++ seems to be a favorite among the freebies.

People on ebay sell used versions of MSVC for even less.

but it is not ANSII right?

>but it is not ANSII right?
Visual C++ .NET 2003 and later are conforming enough to be among the top rated compilers.

Hey, nothing wrong with being a poor college student..

And of the 3 c++ classes at my university... if you don't work in the labs which are emacs on unix g++...

they tell you to get the dev-C++

>Hey, nothing wrong with being a poor college student..
If you're going to post something defensive then I'll say something to deserve it: Poor college students are losers! :rolleyes:

>if you don't work in the labs which are emacs on unix g++...
vi is better. :mrgreen:

Let the flaming begin!
