I haven't done any coding since college. At the time we used some sort of package. I'm not even sure if development environment is the right term for it. It would highlight the code, could compile and run it, and generally made the process much nicer than editing text. Are such things free? Any recommendation (for pay is ok, but let me know)? I might have a C++ job coming my way. It would be modifying some code for a friend. I expect there will be lots of code so I'm looking for something more efficient than PSPad (which is what I use for the little bit of web stuff I do)
