IDE is bonus but not mandatory. > Digressing a bit - how about _not_ allowing an IDE at all ? IMHO, using a console based editor is an important and essential skill when operating *nix kind of OSes. Also, using IDEs right from the beginning will keep the student in dark about what goes into compiling and debugging a program. And even more important - the student might develop a feeling that, compiling/debugging without the IDE is something very difficult and involved (which is not at all the case). I realized this after talking to some engg. students who had never used the command line to compile their programs. The downside of not using an IDE will be - the instructor/supervisor might have to answer more queries about the development process rather than the code written :-s My 2 cents... Comments welcome.
