Should I use the codeblocks IDE with MinGW or Dev C++ IDE with MinGW???
I'm only a beginner C++ programmer and I don't like VC++ express because of installing the platform SDK:eek:

You only need to install the platform SDK if you use the windows API. If you are just now learning C++, that will be a while away because you have a lot of standard C++ to learn first.

I would also suggest Code::blocks as development on DevC seems to have ended, they haven't released an update in about a year. Also Code::blocks seems to have the ability to use DevC's devpacks built in.
