4 4 Why? – part 1 previous solution has worked well in the past, but no longer viable Borland Turbo C for DOS / for Windows pros: no “Windows overhead”, small executable, fits on a floppy cons: DOS-based is outdated, more difficult to use, neither are ANSI C++ compliant

5 5 Why? – part 2 “current” solutions not a true panacea MS Visual C++ Large overhead, MFC-driven, not ANSI Borland free command-line compiler Works well, but students prefer GUI IDE

6 6 The Solution Metrowerks CodeWarrior a worldwide, highly respected company well-established ed. support program tightest ANSI/ISO standards #1 cross-platform development suite across industry

7 7 CodeWarrior multi-lingual C, C++, Java multi-platform Wintel, Mac, Linux, Solaris multi-target X86, PPC, Sparc, >12 embedded processors!

8 8 CodeWarrior Philosophy one, single IDE across all platforms for all targets consistent, easy-to-use look-and-feel

9 9 CodeWarrior IDE intuitive, highly-useful project manager supports MFC as an option colorized, syntax-directed editor meaningful error messages, can edit source code in compilation window powerful, intuitive debugger
