The only project I have at the moment is giving my cousins the ba he
needs to survive the IT industry. It's win-win situation since I get
finally learn C++ as well. :D

That said, what would you recommend to use as a C++ editor for Linux?
Also, is the gcc compiler good enough?

Who says you need a BA? :D Look at me, I don't have one! :P

But it's cool that you're trying to learn C++. ;)

I personally use gvim. Some people prefer emacs.

If you're used to Eclipse, then I'd say you can use that too with the
CDT plugin.

As for GCC, it's very capable of whatever you need to do with C++.
It's standards compliant, free, and very easy to deal with. That said,
it can be really slow and more resource intensive compared to the
other compilers.

Forgive my keyboard. I meant I'm trying to give my cousin the *basics* he needs to survive the IT industry. :D  I instructed him to join this group as well. Say "hi", Ian! :D

Yeah, it's high time for me to learn C++.  Never too late to learn, di ba? :D

Okidoki. What about MonoDevelop as a dev environment? Compared to  eclipse that is? MonoDevelop doesn't use GCC right? Though I might end up using gvim as well. Sudden thought, maybe I should have had Ian install MonoDevelop as well instead of VC++. But oh well, it's already there. :)

I have not tried MonoDevelop yet, it would be worth knowing what that
is like. :D
