yo I am new to linux. I used mandrake a little when I was in college. I want to practice writing code in ubuntu. I have 7.10 and I just recently installed it. I have installed and added some programs but I still can't figure out what programs I used to actually write code. Like I am trying to review C/C++ and learn Java. The only thing I seem to keep finding, is a program that will run python. Or will let me code in python. Can anybody help me out here
 
If you are merely looking for a compiler, gcc/g++ should be installed by default. If you install sun's jvm and jdk, that will let you run jar files, etcetera. If you are looking for an integrated development environment , eclipse would be a good choice for java. I'm not sure what ubuntu has available in terms of IDE's for c/c++
 
This would probably better be asked in the Programming forum. I personally do some Ruby programming and use RadRails for the IDE and love it. But then, I'm not a "real" programmer. I'm a sysadmin who uses Ruby to write automation scripts and a couple web apps.
 
g++ is the most popular c++ compiler. Then you have to install either vim or emacs for a good, simple, functional command-line editor.

Or if you are more comfortable with a GUI based development environment then take a look at eclipse or kdevelop. They both are very popular and support many languages.
 
Ubuntu isn't much programming oriented distro. either way, Eclipse would be good tool to develop both Java and C/C++ code.
