Programmer New to Linux How to start??


I am a computer science major who has used Linux increasingly over my college years. I would like to get started programming in linux. I have programmed a little with linux before, but i really want to get my hands dirty now with GTK+, C++, Mono etc. Is there a decent GUI building IDE comparable to Visual Studio? Anjuta maybe??

i say forget the IDE and just dive in
IDEs cause you to skip over and not learn things

Ditto with the last guy, just use a text editor and properly learn how to write a makefile and how everything gets linked in.

I see...

Yes i have started programming this way with gedit and syntax highlighting turned on and have started making make files like crazy, but what about windows, buttons, etc., non terminal apps. What is the best way to get started with those??

The same way...you don't need a GUI to write GUI apps! In fact they're more a hinderance. Use vi (or gedit, whatever's your poison) and actually LEARN how to place windows and widgets without having to drop them. Your code will be cleaner for it and you'll have precise control over placement.
