Hey guys,
Im quite new to programing and so far i've been using 'putty' to log into my universitie's system and write programs.. Can you please send me a link of where i can download an editor at home. So i dont need to be conneced to the net.
Cheers
Perhaps Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express? It's freeware and I use it. If that's not what you're after, then more details would be nice or someone else would have to answer.
For compilers, you can google for LCC, MinGW, or even Borland's command line tools.
For text editors, there are many: JEdit is nice because, since it's in Java, it's almost guarenteed to be the same on all platforms... about as much as can be guarenteed anyway.
The usual suggestions are fine
Because each editor has fanboys, gurus, haters, and complainers, I doubt our opinion matters. Look over features carefully and decide what you would use. Specific items on this list are simply things I've used before.
ok... thanks
would Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express be able to run just plain C programs ???

If u r a beginner go for wxdevC++ : http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/index....c5241d64b0f0af
else go for CODE BLOCKS : www.codeblocks.org . Do not forget to download the latest nightly build from there.
You can also Visual Mingw Studio, Quincy 2005 too!!!!!
Yes - just rename your files to .c after creation and inseart them into the project instead of cppQuote:

What editor did you use while telnett'd into the university computers?
I'd stay away from MCVS unless you intend to use the Window's API, as it can lead you into many frustrating compatability issues when using some of its proprietary code/standards.
Chances are your university is using GNU C, so you'll want an editor/IDE that uses that or a similar port. My vote goes to CodeBlocks if you need a feature-rich IDE or kate, emacs, or vim for simple (unix) editors or Quincy 99 (windows).
I personally really like gedit
I would just prefer a non-Microsoft solution. Their software is just annoying (10 different install files, 20 folders of useless stuff, need some extra downloads, 50% won't be compatible with your computer).
