So i've decided to jump into learning C, then i plan on C++, then C#. I've said shit like this, saying, "oh i'm gonna learn visual basic 6!" and then crap out, get lazy, and stop. But i'm serious this time :P

anyways, i'm learning from the book - well, the second edition of, which is named "The C Programming Language", which i think is a terrible, highly forgetable name for such a great book - and i'm using Code::blocks. Are there any better IEDs to use to learn? From what i've read, C::B is the best for this sort of thing.

Also, if it makes a difference, i'm running Win7 x86 ultimate edition :spot:

I ended up using Microsoft Visual C(++).

vim

Eclipse with the C/C++ development toolkit.

vim

Editor is not an IDE :duh:

@op: I would go with Eclipse as Nava said.

you're wanting to learn c, then c++ then c#? why? if your intention is to learn c# just go ahead and learn c#, hell you'll probably find it easier than c/c++.

vim is better than an IDE!

i have always used Dev-C++

Thats not recommended. That compiler sucks, it doesn't work correctly on some cases.

I use Microsoft Visual C++ if I code only C++. If I make something with Qt, I use Qt Creator.

Doesn't Dev-C++ use GCC? It's a pretty good compiler.

yes it does, and agreed.

now if you decide to randomly put Visual C++ code into it, it might not compile. this is because some bits of code are written differently between the two. so that might be what u r experiencing frement

(example)

Do not use Visual C++ or any other compiler other than the GCC. srsly.

GCC IDEs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Compiler_Collection#Compatible_IDEs

you do not need a good IDE to learn c!
just open a reference page and vim is good!
and go with gcc! :D
