Hi Don,
Since your goal is to practice programming in the C and C++ languages, and
since you have experience with coding PHP with a text editor, I would
recommend you keep that approach of using a text editor for now, and
compiling your code with a command line C/C++ compiler.
Search for free or open source c and c++ compilers for windows -- there are
a few out there. Once you've mastered the syntax and object features of the
language through simple command line programs you will be much more suited
to move on to a full blown IDE like eclipse or Visual Studio which poses
enough of a challenge on it's own -- even for sighted people!
HTH,
Kerneels
