C++ Editors/Compilers
I just brought this book on amazon called, "Introduction to Computer Science with C++". It was mad cheap and heard a few good things about it. Does anyone recommend any good C++ editors/compilers that they use?
I wanna be fluent in Java & C++, It demands it!

Lots of people use Dev-C++, and Microsoft has a free download of Visual C++ 2005 Express, although there might be some registration you have to go through.
Of course, if you're using FC, vim + gcc works too  |

Visual C++ 2005 Express is a very very good IDE, however, it kind of skips out on most of the C++ libraries, I 'pose it encourages you to use .NET more than just the regular stuff (for example, there is no windows.h)
For windows I recommend: -The Visual C++ 2003 Toolkit and the platform SDK with it (you can also stuff the platform SDK inside Visual C++ 2005 Express, do whatever you wish) -The Borland Free Command Line Tools -MinGW Editors for windows: ConTexT Crimson Editor Visual C++ 2005 Express Eclipse (it has a C and C++ package you can install) Linux, I recommend GCC and Emacs. |

The SDK, if you have it, will give you windows.h, should you need it. I must admit the .NET-centric flavor of 2005 leaves somewhat of a bad taste in my mouth.

Personally, I like how it gives you super duper handy tools like ReBase and Bind.

I doubt you'll find its flaws for a while

Took me about two minutes to find it's restrictions. The lack of support for .rc files is far to inconvenient for me. Has anyone found a reasonable workaround for that yet?

Any other good editors or something simular to Eclipse SDK? I know Eclipse can be used as a C++ editor too but I want to leave it Java for now

FOROUZAN (isbn 0619295600)
This book comes with visual studio .net c++ 2003 standard edition for free (or should I say, included in the cost of the book). It also includes all the msdn stuff. I've never used the msdn stuff, but it's there if I need it. |
