Favourite C++ IDE Poll Results

E-mail Print PDF


The most popular C++ IDE is Visual Studio by a long margin.  It was very close, but quite surprisingly vi was second (I was expecting emacs to be second).  I wonder how many people use emacs and vi on Windows?

Here are the final results.  266 people voted in total over a period of about six months:

 Visual Studio 
 112 votes  42.1%
 vi 34 votes 12.8%
 Emacs 32 votes 12.0%
 Eclipse
 29 votes 10.9%
 Bloodshed Dev 27 votes 10.2%
 Kdevelop 21 votes 7.9%
 All of the above
 11 votes 4.1%

Scott Meyers offers new C++0x Training Course

E-mail Print PDF

From Scott Meyers: 

"I've just completed development of a new C++ training course, this one on the new features in C++0x (the forthcoming revised standard for C++). My original plan had been to develop a one-day seminar, but it turns out that C++0x has so many new features, trying to describe and explore even the "primary" ones in only one day just isn't possible. So the course runs two days. Furthermore, recent compiler releases (e.g., VC10, which is now in publicly available beta, and gcc 4.4) support a surprisingly large number of C++0x features, so even as the C++ standardization committee hammers out the final details of the next version of C++, you can start getting experience with parts of the enhanced language and standard library right now. If my experience is any indication, your new best friend in C++0x will be "auto," and, especially if you're doing multithreaded programming, you're likely to develop a serious fondness for lambdas."

As C++ programmers we're likely to need some guidance on the new C++, which is going to change the language considerably, this looks like a good start.  For more information check Scott's website:
