Hey /prog/, I took a Java class about 5 years ago, but my programming ability is horrible. I'm taking a C++ class and my professor is having us use Dev-C++. Is there anything good or bad that I should know about this text editor?
Also, are there any recommended readings (aside from SICP) for a newcomer such as myself?
If your the course doesn't explicitly require Dev-C++, I recommend you switch to Microsoft Visual C++.

Thanks, I better understand the difference between a text editor and IDE now. I don't know the technical advantages or disadvantages between Emacs and MS Visual C++ or any other IDE, but I know you guys like Stallman and freedom. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.
I already asked them and nobody replied. I figured programming questions were best suited for /prog/. I'm sorry that I have offended you in some way. Was it the comment about Stallman? I did not know /prog/ felt differently about him.

/prog/ isn't suited for anything, all the former inhabitants
of the lisp arts have turned into anus trolls.
