I want start with python but I don’t know what operating system and tools to use. I have a 6 RAM icore3 180 GB hard disk Notebook laptop running Linux mint. I plan to save up to Buy a PC in the future but for I have to make due my old laptop
I am also wondering how does the programming market look like in terms of operating system. Does it matter which operating system you use? In terms of programming institutions (universities bootcamps, etc…), do each institutions have its own preference or does it let its student choose?
Depending on how much you want to work on servers later, getting used to vim might be worth it. With neovim there’s also a modern take on vi, that can fully replace any IDE.
Just use what works for you. Only downside to IDEs is you might not graps all the magic going on in the back, so take your time to understand the ropes of the build and deployment systems before you let your IDE handle it for you.
I started using vim to learn rust. It’s awfully powerful and I fully understand the hype.
However when I started to program, vim was NOT a good option to learn. Because you have to learn how to code and how to use the coding tool at the same time. It can be too much to take in.
Yeah, I understand that. I myself stayed an emacs user up to today because it was easier to get into it (the rabbit hole starts tumbling down some time later with emacs). But in these days eclipse was the shiny new star of IDE (cringe). However, when you face rolling out somestuff or setting up your own first services, the afternoon needed to get basic grasp of vim is well spend.
