So, been playing around a bit in the LInux kernel...
-
Have to say it is refreshingly simple, logical, and predictable. After 15 years of coding in the Windows kernel this is quite refreshing! Many of the concepts, and even terminology are transferable, and of course accessing HW and the C language are the same, so all in all, a very shallow learning curve. Don't know why I didn't do it years ago and add it to my CV! :)

No takers? No interest? And there was I thinking this was a programmers site.... Oh well, I guess it is back to Global Warming posts..... Ha! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: YES, I AM FAT_BOY! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I've never been into kernel development - that whole area passed me by. It's a dark art as far as I'm concerned. Now if you want to talk about 3D routing algorithms and variant segmentation management instead, then I'm your boyo.

I have never touched a single line of *inux code and I've always sighed at some high paid C++ requirements _ON_ Linux. I have seen the IDEs for Linux and they never got my interest. like Vi editor was something I saw during my school days :). I'm sure there must be some modern day editors for C++ on Linux. But I'm not sure if I;d would ever give it a try.

I do general programming. Kernal's a bit low-level for me.

Probably because you though it was a dark niche area that no one but the most hard core hackers were interested into, at least that's my perception of [Put your favorite OS here] kernel development. :)

First of all, I'm a Windows user and fan; I'm not a Linux troll. Having said that, the more that I've gotten to know Linux specifically and Unix in general, the more impressed I have become with it's overall architecture and style. When I first started working with Linux it was because I was forced to and it wasn't a pretty experience. However, it's slowly started to grow on me and I can honestly say that I appreciate a lot of stuff about it. I don't do kernel programming in Windows or Linux, but I'd be interested to hear some more about the differences or pros/cons of each and what your take on all of it is.

Anyone smart enough to write an IDE for Linux already knows vi, emacs or both and recognizes the inherent power of them. It would be a come-down to use an IDE (and I am familiar with Visual Studio and Eclipse). I still fall back to vi and make when I am getting work done quickly in Linux.
