Linux development
-
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.

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)
