Visual Studio is the goto standard for C++ on Windows. You can integrate the IronPython plugin to make it a Python editor and make .NET calls from Python, which can be very powerful. For pure Python, JetBrains PyCharm is really good.
An alternative, Qt Creator is another great IDE for C++, free and cross-platform. --- I use Eclipse at work. I highly recommend VS or Qt, for your sanity. |
Netbeans isnt too bad.

Eclipse (with the appropriate plug-ins) can handle both languages decently. As Haynar said, Netbeans (Eclipse's closest "competitor") is also popular, and both are free.

I used to use Code::Blocks. I can't remember how you set it all up. It was decent, but I still preferred VC++ because it made some things easier. Right now I use MSVC++ 10 Express.
Code blocks: http://www.codeblocks.org/ If you're using windows, I'd go with MSVC++ 10 Express (scroll down): http://www.visualstudio.com/download...sual-studio-vs BUT Code::Blocks is more cross-platform, so if you run a cross-platform project, go with Code::Blocks. That way you don't have to create two different project builds: one for windows, one for other. Additionally, Code::Blocks can probably have extended functionality with plugins. I never tried those. It's probably a headache to set all this up at first, especially if you haven't done it before. I remember when I wrote my first code in QBasic. There was no setup. It was very easy to get going. |

I think the funnest/easiest coding is lightweight, like making scripts. My dream job would be coding/creating quests for an mmo or game. Making query scripts or front ends for databases wouldn't be bad, either. But that pales in comparison to making quests. |
skip to ruby on rails the demand is staggering at the moment, and it is way easier to use
