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.

Is bacon more important than Gin?

True, true, but only after they've paid the $892 processing fee. See, I don't even round it up, I just want to cover my costs.

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.

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?
|
|
|
|

No, but Google will most likely find them.

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

There is also Code::Blocks, not to mention the vim option, for the fearless people.

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.
 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)

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' 😤😡
