There are programming tools included in the Debian/Ubuntu repositories. gcc is the GNU C++ compiler. Just scan through the Software Repository under Devellopment Tools then IDEs to find a development environment to make your programming tasks easier. Most seem to prefer Eclipse, but NetBeans is also really good.

Gcc is the compiler, if you want to use an editor, you can use kdevelop, netbeans, or eclipse CDT, or codeblocks.org. I have used codeblocks and it is very easy to use, recommended one.

Hi,

if you are used to an IDE like TurboC++, then you may use any linux based IDE like Eclipse for the same. Only difference is that in TurboC++, the approach to each program (individual .cpp file) is that it is treated as standalone, while in eclipse, you will need to create a separate project for each different program that you code for.

Use Netbeans or Codeblocks. I have used both of them.

As Bruce pointed out, there is gcc compiler if you want to program using vi editor or gedit. But Eclipse is pretty cool. See http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/moreinfo/c.php
