dev-C++ or code::blocks?
I have being using Dev-C++ but have beeb told that code::Blocks is better.Should i switch?Is it ok to have the 2 IDE's on 1 pc?
Im happy enough using Dev-C++ but again i only have a basic understanding of c++ at the moment and havent even started using a lot of the features in the compiler,
any pointers(excuse the pun) much appreciated,

dev-c++ is no longer in development, while codeblocks is. Use any ide you like, personally I prefer visual studio.
But for beginners the ide doesn`t matter, it might also confuse you because there are to much things together and you don`t know exactly how the ide is doing all this. Even to start with a standard editor and command line compiler is a good idea. An ide can follow later.
I don`t see any good reason against more then one ide on one comp. You can try as much as you want. Them all don`t fight against each other. :) Just the project files are most times not compatible with each other.

DevC++ is no more!!! The latest one is called wxDevC++! Nice IDE!!!!
But CodeBlocks is much better!!!! Just an incredible IDE!!!! Awesome!!! Highly customizable! Do not forget to use the latest nightly build to get the latest features!

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, there is not point to repeat punctuation marks at all times. You can do this at some points for better emphasis, but all time is pointless.

I use both: (wx)DevCpp for small things (mostly single file) and C::B for larger projects.

I haven't tried wxDevCPP but you can't beat nightly imrpvements that Code::blocks has. While I only use the most basic of features, it has a ton of customization and is getting pretty big

I would not want to use an IDE that was changing nightly. When Code::Blocks has a final stable release I would use that. If you're doing any serious programming you don't want to take the risk of a bug or regression stopping you from getting stuff done. If you're not doing serious programming, then it's fine to test out the latest builds.

True, but there will always be a latest stable build you can revert or stay with.
