Dev-C++ is a free and extremely popular among Windows users integrated development environment IDE, supporting C and C++ language. On the one hand, it is an excellent tool for people taking their first steps in the world of programming, on the other hand, it also works well in the creation of complex projects. Dev-C++ is equipped with all the tools and functions necessary for the programmer to streamline his work.

Despite the large number of options, the environment is easy to use, which is largely influenced by a clear and intuitive graphical interface. It enables the creation of small console programmers, as well as applications with a graphical interface, static and dynamic libraries and programs using the capabilities of Direct3D or OpenGL graphic libraries. Among the functions offered there is a card mechanism that allows you to work with multiple files at the same time (also in full screen mode), a built-in client of the CVS version control system, etc.

The system can also be used to control the CVS version. There was also a highly configurable option of syntax highlighting, a browser of classes used in the project, as well as a very useful in this type of software keyboard shortcut mechanism, which allows for efficient and fast execution of frequent operations such as compilation of code. Dev-C++ allows you to import projects from Visual C+++.

The environment is based on the GCC compiler, and its basic functionality can be freely extended by the user through the so-called DevPacks to support subsequent libraries, templates, etc. The environment is based on the GCC compiler, and its basic functionality can be freely extended by the user through the so-called DevPacks.
