I cannot help you with this question. But, I feel I should encourage you
to look beyond IDEs.
If you are serious about becomming a programmer then you should not limit
yourself to IDEs, and should also try out the 'UNIX-style' command line
compile/make/debug tools. This will give you a deeper understanding of
just what the IDE is doing.
I'd also suggest the book _The Pragmatic Programmer_ by Authors I forget.
They have a lot of useful advice for the beginner that is not language
specific.
