The first C IDE that I use is Turbo C++ 3.0 by Borland. It is a DOS base IDE, but offer wide range of functionalities for us to get start quickly. You can get your copy of Turbo C++ 3.0 here.



The interface for TC30 is very simple. All the important executables is in BIN directory. Make sure you update the "Options -> Directories" to point to the correct location.



There are tons of examples in Turbo C++, and the major one is a spreadsheet program. Of course, we cannot compare it with Microsoft Excel, but it does come with quite some functions.

For graphical programming with TC30, we can use the default Borland Graphics Interface, but the power of it is very limited. I will explain a little bit further on how to access VGA and SVGA mode in TC30.
