There are many softwares for C++ like Dev, Turbo, bootload, etc. Which one to use???

Question

C++

Answer 1

I personally use CLion and Visual Studio.

Answer 2

David Carroll
I think many Indian schools prefer turbo c (for c or c++) coding because the school wants its students to learn syntax(by typing whole code) unlike other smart IDEs which gives hints or automatically completes text etc

Answer 3

I like QT5, an open source cross-platform ide.

Don't use Turbo c, it's so nostalgia. 🤣

Answer 4

Turbo's last update was in the 90s. Never use Turbo

Answer 5

Victor Oliveros I've not worked in NetBeans for many years now and it was for a massive J2EE JDK 1.6 GlassFish v3 based project I inherited to clean up. (bleh)

I'm still suffering from the PTSD that project caused me. 😢

It was a much older version of NetBeans v5.5, so my opinion is certainly tainted at best. Come to think of it, I believe we finally got the enterprise project to load in NetBeans v8 before I finally handed it off to another poor, unsuspecting soul. 😏 That was the last Java project I will ever allow myself of having the displeasure of subjecting myself to. But, I digress...

Back to the topic at hand... how would you compare the latest version of NetBeans 9 to CLion for C++? Are they comparable or do you have a preference of one over the other?

Answer 6

Victor Oliveros I'm pretty much a fan of anything JetBrains offers. I use Rider on my MacBook Pro and really like it. However, I still prefer Visual Studio 2017 Profesional with ReSharper on Windows.

I've found that many who start off only doing serious development in Java will believe that it's a better language than C#.

But, once they do some development in C#, they realize just how bad Java really is.

At least, that's been my experience with people I've known over the years. 😜

Answer 7

I'm not from India but my university has similar problem, i think most of the lecturer are not following c++ development, because if i look back most of them use other language like java or c# for their work. So probably they just taught what they know about c/c++ at the time they're start leaving it

and about autocomplete thing, i totally agree why not using plain text editor. i was using notepad when i start learning java swing in class.

Answer 8

Yes Charan LEo25 its discontinued in 2006 its more than a decade

Answer 9

Tbh yeah, maybe they just grow with it.
My university also use turbo in theory. But use gcc for practice. And it cause at least one error in every example.

Answer 10

David Carroll What's interesting is that Netbeans got transferred to a company called Apache from Oracle. Apache Netbeans 9.0 currently doesn't support C++, Html, PHP, and it's a step backwards from Netbeans 8.2. The reason is that 9.0 is a complete rewrite and is in an "incubating" stage similar to Beta. It's going to be a few months before programming languages other than Java are supported. I personally love Clion for C++ and Rider for C#. I also hate Java with a passion.

Answer 11

Rstar Oof... At what expense and are they trying to make programming harder than it needs to be? Why use an IDE at all then? I'd prefer to use Notepad with a modern compiler than an IDE that is unaware of any of the modern ISO C++ standards since 1998.

How can they expect to groom future programmers to be competitive and innovative when they're equipping them with technolgy that was optimized for 16 bit applications running in MS-DOS prior to the release of Windows 95? Makes no sense.

I feel so bad for anyone having to learn this way. I promise you that programming is so much better than what your teachers are exposing you to with such prehistoric technology.

Answer 12

I think the students could be a better coders if a school could teach students edit codes using editor Vim instead. And learn code compilation from command lines in order to understand the underlying technology.

I don't see any strong reasons why do schools need to use the outdated ide to teach their students now.

Answer 13

I recomend code:block. It bundles with tdm gcc so no setting are required to use.
Visual Studio isnt a bad choice either if you're in windows.

Borland and Turbo, they're kinda outdated

Answer 14

😂

Answer 15

I love using Netbeans and Clion.

Answer 16

Upendra Kamath I've heard about this from many others in India. Do you have any theories why this compiler is still so popular by the schools in your country?

Answer 17

I used turbo as it available here

Answer 18

Yeah thnks, i got.

Answer 19

turbo outdated? Taste 😓

Answer 20

Taste 😂 here colleges and schools teachers makes use of it

Turbo c++ is something special for them
I don't know ,but I think it's very useful only beginners .
Still now in India classes using that application
