    Exactly. They both work well, or well work, but, to be serious for a moment, I don't think it is really an easy thing to switch between the two as they behave very differently.

      Eclipse is a great IDE, but has a learning curve, as do all of them. Going from C#.NET back to C or C++ is not as easy as the other way round. I would suggest getting some books or looking at online tutorials such as Reliable Software - Creators of the distributed version control system, Code Co-op[^]. Also, you will probably get better guidance on one of the Linux specific forums, CodeProject tends to be much more Windows focussed.

      Great response! Do you have any suggestions for a Linux developer forum/community that I might sign up for?

          It's not too bad, so far, but we're still just finding our feet. There is a small problemette in the total lack of BACON but we're surviving; actually a colleague brought us some over at the weekend.

            Good morning guys! I don't post that often over here, but I thought I might give it a try with the following situation I currently find myself in. With the recent cockups MS has been making (NSA, no VoIP support on mobile SDK, End User License agreement questionability etc.), I have decided to take a stab at Ubuntu/Linux. Now I am not an expert on using that OS, but I find myself comfortably using it for the most part and for the instances where I do get stuck, Google usually has my back. I am a 9 years+ experienced .Net developer in C# with some SQL background (for the most part). I want to broaden my horizons a bit and want to start coding some more in C, C++ and maybe a little Java and I think the best way to learn might be to start contributing to some open source projects using Linux as my dev environment, but I have no idea where to start. I have installed Git, Android Studio, VSCode, compiled and executed a basic .Net Core console app, I did a helloworld with C and gcc, but I really want to get to the more gritty C stuff and start learning how the olden gray-bearded ones did/do things. My question(s) is/are this: Is Eclipse still a viable IDE to use, or do you have any better suggestions? What tips do you guys have for transitioning from VS2015 C# .Net to Linux C development? Do you have any open source project recommendations that I might look at as I embark on this new, strange journey? Is the earth in fact flat? I'm really excited, but I am completely lost. :-D Any suggestions would be welcome.

            I'd suggest trying JEdit, before you get bogged down by eclipse or netbeans.

                            Is the division of the spoils by length of CP membership (yay!), or by accumulated points (boo!)? :)

                            If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

                                Surprised no one's mentioned them yet, but Jetbrains IDE's are available for Linux, so you can get IntelliJ Community for free. I would also recommend the rather cheap Webstorm if you decide to do any Javascript/Node development. JB is also working on a C# IDE, so keep your eyes peeled for that.

                                  Just pick an open source project that you use/are interested in and go for it. Start by looking at issues in their tracker and maybe help out in an organizational manner until you start to understand the project better. I haven't seen too much in Java out there, and my preferences would probably be to stay away from Java anyway. VSCode is not too bad for c/c++, or use Atom. They both work for many different languages. :laugh: If you really want to get into Linux development, then you MUST choose either EMACS or vim for your editor. (vim is the correct choice)
