Which language/software/editor should I use to recode

[hienmiu]

Hi all,

I'm a newbie.

I want to ask which language (I guess C/C++) and editor should I use to open the source code project and recoding it.
I'm using OpenSUSE.

Thanks all

Nagios Core is written in C, and I do not recall seeing any C++ on a casual glance.

The editor you use is entirely dependent on your own preferences. I personally prefer to use vim, some people swear by emacs. If you want fancy features like code-completion you might look into Sublime Text or a full IDE (Integrated Development Environment). You could ask 50 people and get 50 different answers, however the common themes are usually syntax highlighting, multi-file support, and useful keyboard shortcuts.

tmcdonald, thank you very much for your detail explanation

You are very welcome. If you have a specific question about the Core codebase you are welcome to start a new thread for the new question. I will be closing this one now.
