It offers you handy tools which provide a developer or beginner an environment to develop and test an application on its Windows system.

In other words, it simply provides a local server environment for developers. It comes with MariaDB, Apache Server for different languages such as Perl and PHP.

Xampp stands for X (cross) cross-platform,Apache server, MariaDB, PHP and Perl

Since, it consists of Mysql, so instead of using command prompt for practising of SQL language its better to use more advance and user friendly tool like Xampp.

2.After selecting, Netbeans software with JDK would start downloading.

3.After that, install the downloaded executable file.

4.Finally, your NetBeans has installed properly.

1. Using IDE to code and execute.
2. Setting up the environment of the computer and code in any word editor.

Using IDE:

This is probably the best way if you are a beginner you just have to download and install the simple setup. There are many IDE’s but the two famous are:

1. CodeBlocks
2. TurboC++

These are the links by which you can download the latest versions of IDE and they also come with the easy installation process. If you have any problem with the installation of the given above then let me know in the below comment section.

GNU compiler to the system’s path:

If you don’t like to code like all other’s or want to code in any text editor like Notepad, Notepad++ or Sublime text (personally my favorite).

1. For this, we have to install a text editor or edit the text using notepad only.
2. Then we have to download and install G++ (GNU compiler for C and C++ language).(click here to download)
3. Now we have to set the path I will provide you with the Screenshots (for windows) for viewers ease.

Screenshots:

1. Download Full.exe.
2. Install full.exe.
3. Install and Set Path where you want to save.
4. Locate bin and copy the path.
5. Goto system properties and Add path variable.

The Following are the steps of downloading and installing C++ compiler to your System and setting up the path variables. In the next lesson we will show you the demo of running a code by both methods i.e., IDE and Text editor.

1. First Download Visual basic community from here.

2.  Run the installer, a window would open up with a variety of options, choose appropriate options(in my case, I selected .NET Desktop Development )

1. Now, Open up your newly installed visual studio and choose a file from the menu bar, then press  ‘new’ tab and create a new project.

4.  Select Console Application from the Visual C#, give a name to your project, that’s it!

1. After creating the project, your code editor is now before you.
2. Once you have done with your program, run your program by using F5 function key.
