A single file of code, execution, debugging and that will be it. In the beginning, it’s going to be very simple. We need to understand how to manage our code.

In the first post where we learned how to execute our first C program in Code blocks, we had created a new project and proceeded from there. Create a project or Open an existing project. The tab marked ‘Start Here’ is where we will be writing all our code. If you see some extra tabs or toolbars, just ignore them, we will get to their usage a couple of steps down this post. So this is the first screen that you are going to see when you start Code Blocks. And that is something every beginner can use. However if you know how to use Code Blocks and all its tools, it can make the process of coding a bit less unapproachable. An inventers imagination is only restricted by his tools, here we will learn about the different tools and hot keys available in Code Blocks that can be used to assist and streamline our programming approach.
