Good Noob IDE for OS X ?

Hello people.

Let's cut to the question. I'm fairly new at the programming scene, and though I have a background in problem solving, when I need to throw something together for my physics projects or things like that, my skills are pretty scarce, programming wise. Of course, hacking together something simple under pico or SubEthaEdit is always nice, but for more complicated stuff I could use some help, and am looking for a simple, easy to use IDE.

I hear a lot about how good Xcode is, and I'm sure it is. But when I try to use it the wide array of features and power-user tools gets me a bit lost. So therefore, while I'm still learning, I'd appreciate it if someone could point me towards either a very noobie-friendly kiddy-grade IDE, or a VERY neophyte-friendly tutorial for Xcode.

I only work in C and C++, if that helps.

Newbie IDE? Was there ever such a thing?

I can point you to this document, which at least will help you understand Xcode:

http//developer.apple.com/...

tbh if you're just throwing together solutions, and if your programming skills are scarce, I don't know why you would use C. But hey.

What would you recommend learning then?

Clearly because his programming skills are scarce. Language selection is a skill too, you know.

Anon here, try Common Lisp.

this is a topic from 2005

Stallman here, try Emacs.

Yep. 'ny problem with that?

And now you know why goto is considered harmful.
