From: RayLopez99 on 13 May 2010 11:30 Seriously, who codes in Linux and what platforms, IDEs, etc do they use? What language? I code in C#, have done Windows Forms, WPF, Silverlight, ADO.NET, ASP.NET and some VB and Access dB programming, though I prefer ADO.NET. Getting into WCF now (SOAP) web services using REST as well. All of course under the award winning Visual Studio IDE. I'm using VS 2008 but might upgrade to VS 2010. Seriously, why would ANYBODY code in Linux? Why? You can port Silverlight to Linux. I think in theory ASP.NET is platform neutral as well. And what language would you use in Linux? C? C++? Why? And for server side, PHP? Why? Why would you do that? I am at a loss. Why would anybody use an IDE that does not have the bells and whistles of Visual Studio, like Intellisense? What's the point of not having a decent IDE? The only thing I can think of is if you want to code ONLY for Linux users, not for the 99% that doesn't use Linux OS and the over 90% that uses Windows OS. But again, you can port (I think) almost anything done in Visual Studio to Linux. Please educate me, I'm at a loss. I would even argue perhaps that Linux coding is not serious coding, but I'll leave that for another thread. Right now I'm just curious as to why anybody would torture themselves to code in Linux, and how they go about doing it. Do they even have libraries for Linux coding? Stuff like a generic list, array, etc, or do you have to build your own? RL

Java and Eclipse IDE both work in Linux as well. Many of the embedded systems that I have developed for in the past have versions of Linux on them. Most of the cool toys that you use will probably be like this too. It would not surprise me at all if the Play Station 3 OS is a flavour of Linux. And of course Linux is free even Macs are a flavour of Unix. Linux was a major part of my University course and is a great platform for learning on. Most of the worlds web servers are Unix/Linux using Apache, although Microsoft's IIS is becoming more popular. j1mb0jay ----------------------------------- Posted @ http://www.dotnethelp.co.uk

Heck you got so called programmers that actually program on the MS platform by day and bash it by night lurking in COLA. They talk about MS and .NET in general like the dogs that they are about. And yet none of them can get a job collecting a paycheck programming on Linux. |
