Since you're a n00b, why don't you start by learning some English? Then we can move onto programming. This forum is for people who can type proper English and skip over the 1337/chat/anysp33k.
Now then, I'm pretty sure netbeans is for java. This is a C++ forum, so I can't guarantee that anybody can help you, although someone probably can. So do you have the java runtime environment on your computer?
Netbeans can also be used for C++, here's a link on how to configure it: http://netbeans.org/community/releases/60/cpp-setup-instructions.html
Be nice tummy. Just a couple typos.
whoah! tummychow is so rude. anyway Netbeans is also use in C, C++, Ruby and Php..

sorry hairydogeat, i cant help you with that. i don't have a mac.
Meh, I personally type like this all the time. I hate it when p33p1 sp33k li3k th15. ormaybe lik ethis. Don't do it, it makes you seem, ah, how do I say this...Mmh.. Well, it makes you sound like an *tries to think of a less offensive term than idiot*...I don't know.

Oh well. Take my advice or leave it.

Anyways, I use CodeBlocks. I think it's fairly simple to use, and better than Notepad++.
It's a fact of these forums. You have to have at least acceptable spelling and grammar. Save the sp33k for 4chan.
My advice is to forget about netbean and download free microsoft visual studio express,then you may use its compiler to compile your program written in notepad++ or notepad2,if you do not need heavy visual studio IDE.

Apart from the lack of capitalism, 3 mistakes does not make it l33t speak, slightly poor English yes. but nothing to get your knickers in a knot about.

Mac!,okay,he may find other good compiler,my target is to advice him to use text editor like notepad++,that i think there is its mac version,coz they work smothly then IDE.I use them and compile my program in commandline.They work best for me.
