An IDE is a integrated development environment. It's usually a source code editor and a compiler for the specific language. Check wikipedia for info.
Reply:An IDE is a software that packs together a text editor, compiler, debugger, shell, directory editor, code browser, tags support, syntax highlighting, background compiling, an optional help docs viewer, an optional web browser support and such things that are considered good to have by programmers. Ideally, yuo should be able to develop an entire software from within the IDE, without ever having to leave it.





Code::Blocks, Eclipse, Visual studio, Emacs, Vim, Anjuta, KDevelop are some reknown IDEs.

One of the best C++ IDEs is Microsoft's Visual Studio. They have a free version called Visual Studio Express.





Two other IDEs I've used are Eclipse and Code::Blocks (both free). They're decent, but since I own VS2005, I prefer that.
