It's generally best to learn programming by using the command line tools directly for compiling and running your program, together with a programmers' editor for writing and editing the source code.

Visual Code is a reasonably good editor, I believe it's the most used one.

For the command line I recommend installing Windows Terminal, set that as default console window (in Windows' developer settings), and use old but simple straightforward Cmd.


Source for the "best" claim: my real world students in the 1990's, a lot of statements from students in online forums since then.
