Suggestions for IDE?

[etienne@Rofti]

Dear all

Having used Ubuntu as a normal desktop/office user, I have decided to learn Python and try a hand at programming. For my first/beginner project, I would like to write a Gtk+3/GNOME3 native app using an Integrated Development Environment, that can later be easily ported to Microsoft Windows.

What Integrated Development Enviroment would be the best for me: Anjuta or MonoDevelop?
Or are there any other/better suggestions?

Thank you in advance!

For python i suggest SPE or ERIC that fine for me.:P

Thank you both for your friendly replies.

Unfortunately, all three solutions seem to be very Qt-centred. Are you sure that they will fully and natively support Gtk3 for a relative newbie?

Thank you again

I would say Eclipse is the best, IMO. I hardly ever use an IDE (I program a lot in Bash and Java and I just use gedit)

I don't really like IDE's because I find them too cluttered and slow.

So for me, gedit is the best :lolflag:

I would say go with Anjuta (unless you're planning to do C# stuff, in which case MD would probably be better).

I have used geany & glade, but there is no debugging, just had to use extra print statements to print variables. I am still learning.

some older info on builder Glade now outputs in builder format:

For Python: Aptana 3 or Eclipse + Pydev and for C/C++ Eclipse CDT or Netbeans. Only for learning purpose vim,emacs or gedit should get the job done too.

It has nothing to do on WHAT you code,
you can code GTK into a QT ide, code QT into a GTK ide, code GTK into a NCurses ide, code QT into a Tk ide, code GTK into an HTML5 ide (...)

Eclipse is the best

Dear all

Thank you for your replies. I have found Anjuta to be suitable to my needs. It is user-friendly enough for me, and focused on the GNOME desktop, which is perfect.

Thanks again.
