I need advice on choosing a C++ IDE that will run on a minimal Windows XP system.
I’m retired, on a tight budget, and can’t afford commercial software. I’ve years of experience with programming computers of all sizes: mostly statistical programs in Basic, APL, a little C, and primarily FORTRAN. Now I want to learn C++. I no longer have access to big fast machines and have only an old desktop machine: Windows XP, 133 MHz AMD Athlon, 640 MB RAM, 2.5 GB free disk space.
I’ve been away from computers and programming for about 5 years while ill. I’ve been hoping to get back up to speed by scouring the internet and trying out software, but have succeeded only in getting confused and frustrated.
I’m hoping somebody will be kind enough to suggest some software that would satisfy my needs. I’ll also need good free documentation and tutorials (I’ve been coming across much poor documentation and essentially useless video tutorials).
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
