Joe, a development environment in the context that Eric Scott is speaking of means an IDE, or Integrated Development Environment. An IDE is a special-purpose client application that allows you to code, either C or C++, compile, debug, and do consistency and syntax checks on source code. Vi can be thought of as a rather raw, spartan and extremely low level IDE. Kdevelop, on the other hand, can be thought of as a very advanced and friendly high level IDE. The first IDE I was ever exposed to was shipped with Borland C, and it was so popular that several clones still exist even today, such as RHIDE http://sourceforge.net/projects/rhide And another clone that I used for awhile before I discovered RHIDE and kdevelop -- http://www.identicalsoftware.com/xwpe/ These two IDE's are excellent for beginners to C programming. Rhide is better maintained. Kdevelop is a little too much for a beginner and (IMO)detracts from learning c at a lower level. LX
