When a beginner starts coding, the very first thing he is introduced to is IDE, which is the Integrated Development Environment. IDE, as the name suggests, is the software that gives you the proper environment for coding. There are different types of IDE's launched by different tech companies. Some are specific to one language or one type of language and some are for different types of programming languages. Besides all these things, nowadays online compilers are also available, where you can save your code and make different folders. They are providing a systematic manner of storage for your code. But when it comes to any project which is related to your system's data, then installed software plays a crucial role in this.

There are different types of IDE's in the online market, now as a beginner which IDE one should use? In my previous blogs, I suggested beginners to start with C++, so here I am taking an example of a beginner who decided to go with C++. There are many IDE's for C++, some are specific to C++ only and some are dynamic with other programming languages, like Eclipse, Visual Studio, Clion, Dev C++, KDevelop, Code::Blocks and many more. All are good and obviously, give the same result. The difference comes with the compatibility, the interface and the feature they provide with their IDE.

Generally, we prefer beginners to go with Visual Studio. The main reason behind this is its compatibility. It is used for different programming languages and also for web development. In the future, you have to deal with different programming languages apart from C++. Using the different interfaces for different languages will be a headache, so to avoid such things, we prefer Visual Studio.
