1
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,400
In this section, we'll look at how we can create,

2
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,170
build and execute c++ programs

3
00:00:11,170 --> 00:00:14,170
using only a simple editor in the command line.

4
00:00:15,270 --> 00:00:18,270
All we need on our system is a simple text editor.

5
00:00:18,270 --> 00:00:21,630
It's important to note that word processors such as Microsoft

6
00:00:21,630 --> 00:00:26,030
Word and Apple Pages are not usually used to enter program code.

7
00:00:26,030 --> 00:00:30,230
Instead, we use basic text editors or programmer text editors.

8
00:00:31,030 --> 00:00:34,590
these types of editors are much simpler than integrated development environments.

9
00:00:35,950 --> 00:00:38,650
We also need an installed c++ compiler

10
00:00:38,650 --> 00:00:41,650
like GCC or mingw on windows

11
00:00:41,650 --> 00:00:44,010
and Apple's command line compilers on mac.

12
00:00:44,370 --> 00:00:44,970
That's it.

13
00:00:45,470 --> 00:00:49,460
At this point, we can create the c++ program using the text editor

14
00:00:49,460 --> 00:00:52,820
and compile and run it by typing commands into the command line.

15
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,200
This may sound intimidating at first but it's actually quite easy and efficient.

16
00:00:58,300 --> 00:01:02,700
That said, this is a workflow that's more commonly seen with experienced developers.

17
00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:07,060
However, you may wish to consider this approach if you find the IDEs too complex

18
00:01:07,060 --> 00:01:08,720
or too difficult to understand.

19
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,520
You might also consider this approach if your computer hardware resources

20
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,720
are insufficient to run an IDE.

21
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:18,320
In any case, this is another option that you may use.

22
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,080
In the next several videos, I'll show you how to edit,

23
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,680
build and execute c++ programs

24
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,180
using only the command line in a simple editor.

25
00:01:26,780 --> 00:01:28,980
There will be separate videos for windows,

26
00:01:28,980 --> 00:01:31,980
macs and ubuntu Linux for your reference.
