Dev C++ Or Codeblocks
Dev C++ Vs Code Blocks
Visual C++ has a few more features (there is a 2010 version btw) and is optimized to make especially windows programming easier. However, that also means it has quite a few features that may confuse the new programmer, or lead them astray with features that require some knowledge about how they work.
Code::Blocks is not quite as heavily loaded with features, though you are unlikely to miss anything using it. It also has the advantage to be available on multiple platforms and it supports multiple compilers. It also has built-in support for wxWidgets (a quite nice platform independent GUI system). My only real complaint with it til now is that it's code completition system is not quite as sophisticated as Microsofts IntelliSense. C::B is what I personally use.
You could also use Eclipse, but I don't really have any experience with it.
PS: At the beginning, you won't need an IDE at all. Just a compiler and a text editor will do- doing stuff from the command line at the start will give you a feeling what exactly linking and compiling is, later you can move on to IDE's which will do all that annoying work for you. Thing is, just cause IDE's can do it for you doesn't mean you don't need to know what exactly is going on.

Dev C++ Vs Codeblocks
Dec 16, 2005 Dev C used to be very popular with beginners, due to the fact that it is free. Sut since the VS 2005 Express editions are free (at least if downloaded during the first year), there is absolutely no reason anymore to use Dev C. Aug 01, 2014 The difference between them is that the Dev C uses MinGW compiler while Turbo C use Turbo C compiler(Borland’s compiler). Traktor scratch pro 2 software & timecode kit. The main similarity being DevC and Turbo C are both outdated. I would suggest you to use codeblocks or the updated version of DevC made by Orwell( ) which is much better.
