Project Builder should compile C/C++. You may also want to check Metrowerks
for a good ide. If you feel up to it you could just use any old text editor and compile from the command line, but an ide is so much easier.

I was trying to think of which IDE I used in college. Thinking back I guess I never used one!! Crazy.
I had Metroworks for a while, but only used it for coding in Java. Its a decent IDE, but I don't like its project property and management tools.
I like BBEdit a lot. It has syntax checking for a lot of different languages. The problem is that I don't believe it compiles (I could be wrong. Haven't used it in a while.)
Project Builder is also nice. And its great for C and C++ code, as the share the same compiler as Obj-C.

Can't beat Project Builder in terms of value for money. Underneath it's all GNU (gcc for the compiler, gdb for the debugger) but it's got a syntax-coloring editor, class browser of sorts, etc. Probably not as slick as Codewarrior, but infinitely cheaper 😀

PB & IB vs Codewarrior
I am a recent user of PB & IB and a CW user for several years. I am extremely impressed with the PB & IB combination - that is a lot of power!! The major advantage CW has is the ability to compile for Windows - something I have to do🙁
At the moment I am working through O'Reilly's "Cocoa Applications".
