Question

C++ / C#

I have an old Samsung laptop, 32-bit OS, what environment should I download for development?
I tried to download microsoft visual studio, but something didn’t start, maybe I didn’t download it right.
In short, tell the experts where to download to a 32-bit OS and what exactly?

Answer 1

GCC - try to learn how to use it.

Answer 2

old samsung laptop

How old is that? Visual Studio works fine on 32 bits. You can try QtCreator, Code::Blocks.
But if you are a beginner, then VS is the best.

Answer 3

You don't need an environment to start with, editor+gcc/clang+make is more than enough.

Answer 4

Regarding microsoft visual studio. What version are you downloading from? for educational purposes, there is an Express version directly on the official Microsoft website. It should be perfectly placed on dead laptops (I used to work on a netbook with Windows7 Starter). Alternatively, you can look for older versions of the studio. They are encrypted as Visual C++ Express. Actually the link . You should be interested in the Express version for Desktop

Answer 5

you are a beginner, but your laptop is old))
Windows is very slow, install Ubuntu - at least it will be clear that you are a programmer (to American intelligence services)

Answer 6

Borland C++ 6.0
QT Creator, available under Linux

they use Geany and gcc
in the course the language is French, but there are English subtitles, geany convenient, you won't need to write the code in notepad and compile it on the command line
