So far we've seen how to compile the C++ code but we didn't mention how to write it. In this article, I present a few great tools to write C++ code, covering all the needs from the minimalist, distraction-free text editor to the most heavily featured Integrated Development Environment. This is my personal selection, but remember the best tool is the one you're comfortable with so don't hesitate to try others until you find your best fit.

We'll start with the lightweight tools and finish with the heavyweight.
