Everybody has their own favorite work environment, setup, etc.
But I’ve been having good luck lately on winxp reviewing c++ from Thinking in C++ e-book
with codes examples:
<<http://www.mindview.net/Books/TICPP/ThinkingInCPP2e.html>>
also using DevC++
<<http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html>>
which also has various “DevPaks” to help setup up libs etc. for fltk1 and 2, and wxwidgets.
Be nice to have a csoundapi devpak as Rory mentioned at one point, but I know everyone
is busy with other things.
