00:00:05,540 --> 00:00:09,420
In this video I'd like to go over the content in this section of the course.

2
00:00:09,540 --> 00:00:14,580
This is a very important section since we describe the installation of the tools necessary to create,

3
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,430
build, and execute C++ programs.

4
00:00:17,430 --> 00:00:20,790
We wanted to make this course accessible to as many students as possible

5
00:00:20,810 --> 00:00:22,450
who want to learn C++.

6
00:00:22,470 --> 00:00:28,020
So, if you're running Microsoft Windows, Mac OSX,  or Ubuntu Linux, we have videos detailing the steps

7
00:00:28,020 --> 00:00:31,510
necessary to get set up and running on your platforms.

8
00:00:31,530 --> 00:00:38,730
The following section includes videos for installing the C++ compiler, the CodeLite IDE and how to configure

9
00:00:38,730 --> 00:00:43,320
the CodeLite IDE for each specific operating system.

10
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,970
Then we go over how to create a default CodeLite project template that you can use when you want to

11
00:00:47,970 --> 00:00:50,520
create a new C++ project.

12
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,990
This makes it really easy to start new projects quickly since all the required settings will be ready

13
00:00:54,990 --> 00:01:02,100
to go. In all the videos we use are a real simple C++ program to test the installations. All of the elements

14
00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:06,510
of the C++ program will be explained in detail as we progress through the course.

15
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,720
In this section, just type along and follow along to ensure that your installation is complete.

16
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:18,900
In addition to using the CodeLite IDE,  we want to be sure that students can learn and build C++ programs

17
00:01:19,140 --> 00:01:23,050
even though they may not be able to install an IDE due to hardware limitations.

18
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:29,740
So we created a section that uses just a simple text editor and the command line tools to do just that.

19
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:34,620
If you're unable to use an IDE then please don't let that stop you from learning C++.

20
00:01:34,620 --> 00:01:37,150
You could still use the command line just fine.

21
00:01:37,290 --> 00:01:43,280
So we created a video for the command line for Windows , for Ubuntu Linux, and for Mac OSX.

22
00:01:43,290 --> 00:01:48,870
Finally, we include a video that uses a web site that has a C++ compiler available that you can use to

23
00:01:48,870 --> 00:01:52,050
write and execute basic C++ programs.

24
00:01:52,910 --> 00:01:57,520
This has some limitations, but it's great if you're on the road or away from your own PC.

25
00:01:57,530 --> 00:02:01,940
All you need is a web browser and you can run much of the code presented in this course.

26
00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:08,930
As the Course evolves we'd like to include videos for Xcode on Mac, Microsoft Visual Studio on Windows, 

27
00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:09,860
Eclipse, 

28
00:02:09,889 --> 00:02:12,580
NetBeans, and other major IDEs.

29
00:02:12,650 --> 00:02:15,920
We want this to be the most complete beginning C++ course available.
