C/C++ development can be done in variety of ways. If you are comfortable using the compiler and command prompt, you can just download the compiler and start working. But most of developer will prefer some sort of Integrated development environment (IDE) for C/C++ development.
Most new developer get confused when it comes to choosing a IDE. Actually there are many options available in Internet for development purposes. Some of them may cost a little while others may be free.
But sticking to one IDE will probably what makes an IDE great. A new developer who is starting his way with c/c++ programming can start with old IDE like turboC. I personally have worked with many IDE myself. Some of them are "codelite", "code blocks" , DevCPP, Visual studio etc.
I think codelite and devcpp are really good way to start. If you are comfortable with Eclipse IDE then there is a plugin for c/c++ development. Visual studio express edition is also a great tool available.
Cfree is has a free version that can be used.
My personnel choice for bigger projects has been DevCPP and Visual Studio, due to their great project support.
For starters just get an IDE and work with it for like one month. This will get you going with that IDE and once you get familiar with it , you will start to like it. As far as IDE for c/c++ goes no one is perfect, everyone has their own pros and cons.
