Programming with C++ on Linux

[Sandman1983]

When I installed Kubuntu for the first time I was already master for python and java on Windows machine. But now I want to try C++ on Linux. Can someone tell me which is the best IDE for C++ and where to find a good book for C++. I will appreciate any help. Thanks

Try Googling:
1) kubuntu ide c++
2) linux c++ book

There are a number of guides that you can download.

I second the nomination of Qt4 and QtCreator.
They are in the repository. Don't forget to install the QtCreator Doc package.
One of the recommendations is to install cmake. I'd do that as well.
There are tons of "suggested" apps to install but I'd ignore them.

While installing Qt4 and QtCreator be sure to install gcc and also gdb.

One of the recommend apps is git or subversion. There are links in QtCreator to subversion.
Subversion is a nice version control system, but my favorite it bzr (Bazaar) and its Qt gui, qbzr.

Does PyQt hold any interest for you?

This combines Python and Qt's windowing toolkit.

Eric and Wingware are IDE's suitable for python development in Linux.

My 2 cents, I think that kate is the best editor ive used. its not intergrated but I like it. Just my opinion.

Re: Programming with C++ on Linux

Kate is an EXCELLENT editor for almost every kind of source code, because it supports dozens of different languages. I used it for four years, before QtCreator came out.

For programming with the Qt4 API, however, QtCreator is the supreme tool. Alll other pale in comparison. To program Qt without QtCreator is like replacing the engine in a Lexus with a Brigs and Stratton.
