Hey Guys, I'm taking my 1st baby steps into the coding world. I'm currently learning C and then from there going onto C++.
So as of now I've decided to start using UltraEdit as my Source Code Editor. The main reason for this choice is because I work with a bunch of software engineers and a lot of them use Ultra Edit, so if I have any questions a lot of my answers are just walking distance away.
I originally looked at UltraEdit32 and then decided having a separate compiler and Debugger was a bit tedious to work with. So then I discovered UEStudio which is just UltraEdit which allows you to integrate a compiler and debugger.
So my next question is what compiler should I use...or doesn't it matter? I just installed Borland C++ compiler v5.5 since it was free and I seem to have that working with UEStudio..(ie I compiled "Hello World!" and ran it from within UEStudio). Now what about a "Debugger"? Do I need one? I just downloaded "WinDbg" since that was free...but will it work with the Borland compiler? Am I headed in the wrong direction?
Any suggestions to steer a noob in the right direction?
