• Ruby and Pearl are mostly written using C.⁣
• Most part of Apache and NGINX is written using C.⁣
• Embedded Systems are created using C⁣

--C Install IDE

• An IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is used to edit AND compile the code.
• Popular IDE's include Code::Blocks, Eclipse, and Visual Studio. These are all free, and they can be used to both edit and debug C code.
Note: Web-based IDE's can work as well, but functionality is limited.
• We will use Code::Blocks in our tutorial, which we believe is a good place to start.
• You can find the latest version of Codeblocks at http://www.codeblocks.org/. Download the mingw-setup.exe file, which will install the text editor with a compiler.
