Apr 15, 2016 I have used Turbo C, Borland C, DevC and Code::Blocks. Turbo and Borland are little bit old fashioned. DevC is also not very good because its latest version was released in 2005 (I guess). I hated using DevC because in it, variables are. SFML and Code::Blocks (MinGW) Introduction. This tutorial is the first one you should read if you're using SFML with the Code::Blocks IDE, and the GCC compiler (this is the default one). It will explain how to configure your SFML projects. Installing SFML. First, you must download the SFML SDK from the download page.
Dev C Ou Code Blocks
| | The open source, cross platform, free C, C++ and Fortran IDE. |
Code::Blocks is a free C, C++ and Fortran IDE built to meet the most demanding needs of its users. It is designed to be very extensible and fully configurable. Finally, an IDE with all the features you need, having a consistent look, feel and operation across platforms. Built around a plugin framework, Code::Blocks can be extended with plugins. Any kind of functionality can be added by installing/coding a plugin. For instance, compiling and debugging functionality is already provided by plugins! Special credits go to darmar for his great work on the FortranProject plugin, bundled since release 13.12. We hope you enjoy using Code::Blocks! The Code::Blocks Team |

| Bug&Patch Tracker now at SourceForge |
| Written by MortenMacFly | | Friday, 16 May 2014 04:58 | Due to the fact that BerliOS will close its services we have created a ticket system at SourceForge and closed the bug and patch tracker at BerliOS. | | Last Updated on Wednesday, 26 August 2015 15:28 |
| | Don't miss the nightlies! |
| Written by MortenMacFly | | Wednesday, 26 August 2015 15:20 | We are well alive and kicking! Please remember, that while waiting for the next release, you can try new features by using the 'nightlies' that we provide here (downloads are on SourceForge, as usual). We also provide nightly 'setups' for windows for those, who like and/or need installer. | | Last Updated on Sunday, 30 August 2015 08:16 |

Dev C++ Or 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.
