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

However, everyone has their preference. I like Eclipse for programming in Java. And there are a few other ones that could rival VSC

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

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

VS is great for C . I’ve also heard CLion is OK too but I never used it myself.
