Dev-C++

Excellent free IDE for C/C++.

One of the best development environments focused toward programing in C/C++, is Dev-C++ that has as an additional advantage the fact that it is a totally free application. This IDE has a very intuitive and simple interface, that will make it very easy for us to handle both the code editor as well as the compiler that it integrates.

  The main features of Dev-C++ are:
- Use of the MinGW (Minimalist GNU for Windows) compiler, an implementation of the GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) compilers for Windows systems.
- Practical code editor with syntax coloring, search options, replace,...
- Vast amount of configuration options to customize the compiler, the environment or the editor.
- Insert markers and rupture spots.
- Use of keyboard shortcuts.
- Possibility to add, edit or eliminate tools.
- Selection of different themes for the interface (New Look, Gnome or Blue).

  To sum up, from this integrated development environment you will be able to write, compile and launch your programs in C++ without complications. Without doubt, Dev-C++ is one of the best free alternatives to other IDEs like the one offered by Microsoft, Visual Studio.
