Today – at this moment actually – I’m installing KDEvelop and various support add-ons . An IDE for KDE with support for C/C++, Ruby, scripting and so on.
It’s a few years since I’ve done any serious low-level programming. In fact, I think the last such project I worked on was the development of a COM object to suck in foreign exchange information in real time, C++ on an MS platform. My development experience on Linux is limited although I used to support a job scheduling system written on a Unix platform and used by BT but from today I’m rolling up my sleeves and getting down with KDEvelop.
Don’t know if I should report on my progress, it might be so painfully slow.
