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.
 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)

Thor
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.

Two young nuns were cycling down a dark road during the second world war, with their Mother Superior, when they were accosted by some soldiers of the enemy camp.
While they were taking them in, one of the two young nuns pleaded with their captors saying 'Please spare our Mother Superior from sexual assault. Please let her go'
At this, Mother Superior shouted 'Shut up you bitch. WAR is WAR' 😤😡

Hi Rajesh-ji,
I think the post is offensive enough, but, it may not be tasteless enough for the soapbox.
cheers, Bill
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Nothing wrong with Bundaberg rum but it does depend on what sort of rum you are used too.

What the Elephant??
I'm trying to debug some code, but Windows update comes up with it's "we're going to restart! Too bad you can't stop me!" thing so I save everything and go have a drink. A while later I come back and try and resume debugging but my localhost won't start up. And then I can't find my IIS console shortcut on my desktop. And the inetsrv folder in C:\Windows\System32 is empty.
W. T. F.?
Anyone else seen this? I've gone back into "turn Windows Features on or off" and renabled everything, and it's now evidently fetching some files from windows update.
I'll keep you posted...
cheers

Did you go to Anniversary update?
There are hidden features which are removed to force you to buy them.
Company I work for had this issue and has not gone up to Anniversary update for this reason yet.
However, I'm not sure IIS is one of those items.
edit
Oh, look, I googled "anniversary update iis" and got a reddit where numerous people saying same thing
Windows 10 Update totally Removed IIS and botched my DEV machine : Windows10[^]

I thought I'd updated to Anniversary Edition (and seriously Microsoft: pay someone to think up decent names, please) but evidently I hadn't.
I have AE on my office machine and no problems there.
Funnily enough I searched far and wide for others who had the same issue. My Googling skills (and possibly my Binging skills - ahem, Microsoft) are obviously rusty.

It seems that MS is trying to alienate developers with things like this.
Either that, or their various teams are incompetent.
Or both.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???
