Friends,
please suggest a C/C++ IDE for windows 7 starter edition. Its for my cousin who is in class 10 and wants to learn C. I suggested him vi/gcc but he refuses to install linux.

VC++ would be too heavy for his netbook, so suggest other IDEs. The lighter, the better. Automatic code completion is not a must.

Try Code::Blocks.
Its good, light on system and most user friendly.

+1 to Code::blocks which now is a 2nd name for "IDE" for C, C++ or Java.

thank you Utkarsh and all,
just checked out code::blocks, its perfect for him.

since he is a starter, he doesn't need any advanced features an IDE offers

p). It is better for him to learn the command line way. since he isn't installing linux, install cygwin and start.

How about Bloodshed Dev C++

^ It's quite good for starters/beginners,but "code::blocks" is much better.
He can even try codelite.

+1 Bloodshed Dev C++ ,good for beginners.

code::blocks better and bloodshed for starters. really? bloodshed is the best thing that cud ever happen to a computer programmer born in and after 1985.

1. Seriously? Is reading stickies that hard? Closing.
2. In any case Codeblocks will do.
3. Anyone who is recommending Bloodshed Dev C++ has been sleeping since 2005. It hasn't had a release since then. Whether you're born in 1985 or 2012.
