Although I have no experience in Unix, I am very interested in doing similar web development in C++ on Unix.
Can someone recommend a good compiler and platform (Unix Variant)? I've noticed that the following seem to be pretty popular for web servers. To keep things easy, I guess that I'd be using a specific variant for both development and web server:
FreeBSD, Fedora, Ubantu, and CentOS.
FreeBSD is a BSD derivative. Fedora, Ubuntu, CentOS are Linux derivatives (of which you could add Debian into the mix). I, plus a good chunk of the population, have a preference to the Linux side, ISP, in general, people have a preference for the BSD side. I'm sure others will have other opinions. Anyway, in general, there are some larger OS and filesystem differences between the two basic derivatives. g++ is the usual gnu open source C++ compiler. Eclipse/CDT is an IDE (I've used that one, but Code::Blocks is rumored to be a good IDE as well). Do a google for Wt, which is a pretty good C++ based web development kit. And is based upon boost slots/sockets and ASIO. -- Scanned for viruses and dangerous content at http://www.oneunified.net and is believed to be clean.
