CBook Pro is not just an extension; it's a workspace evolution. It brings the interactive, cell-based workflow of notebooks to the world of compiled languages, while supercharging Python with persistent state and professional tooling.
Designed for Educators, Data Scientists, and Polyglot Developers, CBook Pro enables you to prototype, teach, and experiment in Python, C, C++, Java, and JavaScript—simultaneously.
✨ Features & Advantages
🐍 Professional Python Environment
Stateful Persistence: Define a variable in Cell 1, use it in Cell 10. A true interactive session.
Stateless Isolation: A unique feature allowing you to toggle any specific cell to run in a clean, isolated process. Perfect for testing scripts without side effects.
Rich Media: View matplotlib plots and charts inline.
Real-Time Input: Seamlessly handle input() user prompts.
💻 Compiled Language Power (C / C++ / Java)
Live Compilation: Write C or C++ code and run it instantly. We handle the compilation and linking behind the scenes.
Standard Streams: Full stdin, stdout, and stderr support. Great for teaching algorithms and data structures.
Process Safety: Automatic resource management ensures no hanging processes.
⚡ Modern JavaScript
Node.js Integration: Rapidly prototype JS logic using your local Node environment.
JSON Output: Clean rendering of object data.
🎯 Use Cases
Education: Create interactive lesson plans mixing lecture notes (Markdown) and runnable code examples in C++ or Java.
Data Science: Perform data analysis with Python, visualize results, and keep your workspace clean.
**Algorithm Practice:**Solve LeetCode style problems in C or Java with immediate feedback and no boilerplate project setup.
Prototyping: Validating logic snippets before moving them to your main codebase.
🛠️ Quick Start
Install: Get CBook Pro from the VS Code Marketplace.
Create: Open a new file with the .cbook extension.
Code:
Click + Code to add a cell.
Select your language (bottom-right of the cell).
Hit ▶ Run.
Toggle Modes: Right-click a Python cell to switch between Stateful (Default) and Stateless (Isolated) modes.
⚙️ Requirements
CBook Pro uses your local environment tools:
Python:python in PATH.
C/C++:gcc or g++ in PATH.
Java:javac and java in PATH.
JavaScript:node in PATH.
CBook Pro — Unleash your potential across every language.
