Re: Accessible ides for C++?
Visual Studio is getting up there in good accessibility. Honestly, C++ doesn't really need all that fancy stuff. If you've programmed before, you could really get by with just using a text editor like Notepad++, or any form of Notepad, or Visual Studio code. The thing you will have to learn is how to compile your C++ programs. Most people use GCC, which is something you can install on Windows a number of ways (through Cygwin, MinGW, Msys2, etc). Then, GCC is run on the command line using something like:
gcc test.cpp -o test
You can add the -c flag to compile to object code, which is a prerequisite for a full executable. But you might want to start without the -c flag and read about it. It's a good practice to know how the whole process of how compiled languages ultimately generate executables, and this is where you can learn about the different parts of a compiler toolchain, including the assembler, linker, etc.
