C and C++ Programming Fundamentals with Dev-C++

Want to learn programming but feel overwhelmed by complex, heavy development environments? Setting up your first compiler does not have to be difficult. This text-based course guides you step-by-step through installing Dev-C++, understanding its interface, and writing clean, modern C and C++ code. You will transition from knowing nothing about programming to confidently compiling, debugging, and running your own applications. What you will learn: Understand fundamental programming concepts, memory basics, and compiler terminology; Configure the Dev-C++ environment and the GCC/MinGW compiler for a seamless workflow; Write structured programs using variables, operators, and control flow structures; Implement functions, arrays, and basic pointers to manage data efficiently; Compile, run, and troubleshoot your code directly within the IDE; Apply modern C++ practices, including standard library utilities and clean coding standards. The course begins with essential definitions and environment setup before moving on to practical coding logic. You will read through clear explanations, analyze structured code snippets, and complete written exercises to reinforce your learning. This course is designed specifically for beginners with no prior coding experience who want a straightforward, lightweight entry point into software development.
