Installing C/C++ compilers

[Cardale]

I am new to programming and wanted to get some compilers, but didn't know which way to go about it and rather than smash and crash my way through it I decided to ask. What should I dosss?

I did a search, but only came up with older versions of Ubuntu examples and tutorials.

never mind I found it in the documentation....:D

where is a good resource for finding cool little programs for c source.

Cool! Do you have a link that you found helpful for other budding programmers who might come the way of this thread?

<aside>I'd already figured out how to get a C/C++ compiler in my system, mainly from these forums....</aside>

Can I attach the default text editor to these compilers?

[Cardale]

Is there a text editor that allows you to attach compiles? Like execute a compile with a specific code by adding a menu item or something called save and compile?

That would be cool since I use several compilers for other things.
