if your just starting, why pay for an IDE? Also, are you really going to start using netFrames as a beginner lesson? I think not. Get some free one that will meet the basic needs: | | --> debugger | --> complier | --> syntax highlighter | --> [extra] project management and such your just starting out, my best bet would be use a text editor such as notepad++ and cmd. that is all you need. |

You'll need to learn the difference between a compiler and an integrated development environment first if you have any hope of becoming a decent programmer. |

If you want a nice free C++ environment, get cygwin at http://www.cygwin.com/ and install the base. If it looks good, then setup.exe install gcc, binutils, gdb and make; plus any others, like ctags. GNU does make for a pretty nice dev env. Cheers |

As suggested above, learning the difference between a compiler and IDE is most important. Afterwards you can get Visual C++ Express 2008 for free, despite popular belief. |

thanks all! again, only if you know how to use it effectively. Using an IDE is NOT neccesary when writing C++ programs. In fact, wtd made a very good point that IDEs usually get in the way of new programmers actually learning a language. so maybe before hesitating to write code because you cant find an IDE you like, try writing code in a text editor with a good syntax highlighter (in Windows, id suggest Notepad++. Linux text editor works perfectly) and then learning how to compile at the command line. its as simple as
