I've been asked if I would write some additional programming tutorials for people who are totally new to programming and on both Linux and Windows. These will initially be for C then C++ and C#. The emphasis will be on the fundamentals of programming such as variables, types and loops etc.

To keep the tutorials compatible for C/C++ I'll be using open source tools which include CodeLite, an excellent cross-platform IDE and the GCC compilers (g++, gcc) with MingW or CygWin (on Windows) or natively on Ubuntu. If you've not tried CodeLite, take a look. I've added it into the Linux Tools and Utilities though you can also use it on Windows if you download MingW.
