I've written a C-app on Linux, but I didn't know about "make" to auto compile, just write code with Vim and manually compile my app. Which tools, utilities that a programmer should learn to be more productive on Linux? I know git, diff, batch, make. Can you suggest more? thanks

(more specific, what tools for C, Python, Java programming)

PS: sorry for my bad English.

Answer 1

You could learn more by looking into how actual free Linux software are. So try for instance to retrieve and build from its source code some utility like e.g. GNU make

You could also use GNU emacs instead of vim. It is a matter of taste (sort of "religious wars"). The main difference is that emacs users are doing all from emacs.

Answer 2

You could try Netbeans an IDE for writing codes?
