Description: DevEditor is an experimental programmer's editor. The goal is to create an editor that could be used by a person (most likely a student) with no a priori knowledge of programming. This aims to be a classic "write code, click run" IDE.
By version 1.0, it should support * tabs (done) * syntax highlighting (done) * some form of auto-complete * ability to compile/run simple programmes (done) * a code snippets library
This is aimed at the C/C++ programmer, though support for other languages may be added.
I disagree.
Sure, you have Kate, you have KDevelop, Eclipse, Ajunta, EMACS and quite a few others. But they all share something in common.
If you're a newbie, you're doomed. I started learning to program on Borland Pascal 7, then to Turbo C 3. I remember how easy it was to just write a dammed progarmme.
Then I moved to Linux. I tried to write a project in KDevelop. I remeber searching like mad for the compile/run programme button. I couldn't even comprehend the concept of a project, of a multi-file programme.
Then I found out that GCC is a compiler. Remembering my Borland Pascal days, I executed gcc thinking that it will pop up a nice IDE. Imagine my surprise when I got a "no input files" error. It took me a few months to figure out how things work.
This app is intended for the complete begginer. The person who has just learned in school how to write "Hello world" to the screen. This is intended for very simple projects, more likely assignments, the type a teacher might give you in a Computer Science class.
As far as I can tell, there's no such programme on Linux, and I couldn't find any modern one on Windows.
Any thoughts?

for linux you didn't really need this editor but on win32 this application it's very useful idea
