Programming Under Linux?

Question

I've been programming a lot on Windows, and now that i moved to Ubuntu 10.04, I want to continue to programming... What's the best language to start with? I've heard about Gambas being similar to VisualBasic, but I want something stronger... as C++ or so...

What do you say?

Answer 3

Depends on what you want to do, really.

If you want to start learning a scripting language to build web apps and the like, you might want to try Ruby or Python.

Also, C/C++ development is really easy to get started with on Linux, especially Ubuntu. If you prefer IDEs, I suggest Netbeans. To get started with C/C++ development in Ubuntu, open up a terminal and type:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

And if you want to install Netbeans, it's a similar process:

sudo apt-get install netbeans

Answer 4

0	i recommend C or C++, i use Code Blocks or the gcc compiler with gedit as the editor. but code blocks def is nice. you can get code blocks from the software center, just search for blocks. answered Nov 27 '10 at 20:22 trueb 15.0k●50●99●257
