 		 #151080 - Good tools make life easier
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Brian Reid said:
I actually have a full version of IAR Embedded Workbench (opinions??) but because I'm so new to this, I've been trying to start out simple and work my way into more complicated software packages and programming. I have spent many an hour writing some complex C++ programs in Visual Studio

If you're happy with programming in VS, I can't see how an IDE like IAR's Embedded Workbech should be a problem?

In fact, it's often the case that cheap, shoddy tools will make learning a craft harder - not easier!

making the leap from computer land to real hardware is taking me some time so the simpler the better right now.

The leap is in the content of your programs, surely - not the environment used to create them?
