Quincy
is freeware open-source. It is a simple programming environment for
C/C++ on Windows. It contains an editor, a compiler, a debugger, and graphics and
GUI toolkits.
Because of it's simple interface, Quincy is ideal for learning C or C++
programming.
With integrated support for FLTK and the FLUID GUI builder, Quincy is also a rapid application development (RAD) tool for Windows GUI programs.
Like its
predecessor, Quincy 2002,
the Quincy 2005 IDE and its source code are released for free, without
any licencing
restriction whatsoever.
Al Stevens originally produced Quincy to accompany a C++ tutorial book
and as a project for the C Programming column of Dr. Dobb's Journal.
Quincy is named after Al Stevens' daughter's cat. |

Quincy 2005 makes it easy to use the MinGW
C/C++ compiler, and the GDB debugger.
With Quincy you can develop Console C or C++ applications, Win32 GUI
applications, DLLs, or static
libraries. Quincy 2005 offers WinBGIm
graphics (for simple 2D graphics) and FLTK GUI
applications (to build graphical user interfaces). The included koolplot
2D plotting library is of special value to scientists and
engineers.
