??!?
December 1993
1.0 was February 1993
Do you really mean "first Microsoft IDE"??
Howzbout QUICKC? (October 1987)
or first C++?
or first Windoze? (QuickC for Windows September 1991)
or first Windoze C++?
When I taught C, I forced ("mean teacher") my students to do at least one
program using a command line compiler (suggested: GCC or PersonalC
(DeSmet)), and to do at least one program using an IDE (suggested: TurboC,
quickC, VisualC++, or Microsoft C/C++). I was even so mean that I made
them create a source file AND an executable file, and even check the
DIRectory to confirm that the executable was newer than the source.
