I just wanted to get a head start in IPC144. So what IDE do you use for programming in C language?
Im starting CPA in winter 2023 any advice would be great

Best IDE to use, whether your on Windows or Mac, is Visual Studio Code
thats so false
the debugger is absolutely awful
they're all bad
VS Code is alright
However, everyone has their preference. I like Eclipse for programming in Java. And there are a few other ones that could rival VSC
use whatever you want
it doesn't matter
vs2022 is better for c than vscode
better debugging
As I said, everyone has their preference
eclipse is soooo bad
fuck I hate eclipse
eclipse wasn’t that bad
although setting up javafx on it was a fucking pain for ws5
so i decided to do it with swing instead
yeah that's kind of the thing with eclipse, it's fine with small projects but Uhh..
any kind of complicated dependencies and it gets to be difficult
intelliJ automates a lot of the maven / gradle stuff in a nice way
yeah, i would of used it but i just didn’t have the energy to do it back then
CLion. You will never look back
ah yeah great ide as well
The one used in the course is Visual Studio (NOT Visual Studio Code, they're different) so if you want to be able to receive troubleshooting from your professor, use Visual Studio
Any other IDE, you'll usually be on your own if there are problems
ok thanks
VS is great for C . I’ve also heard CLion is OK too but I never used it myself.
I just found out I cant write C language on visual studio for mac thats why everyone is using visual studio code
yeah, most people in the program use windows bc the program is designed around Windows
oh ok ty
