My Setup - krothgap/modbot GitHub Wiki
Operating System: Linux Mint
Programming Language: Ruby
Ruby is a coolio little language that I find to be both readable and accessible for less experienced programmers. I figure it's a good language to stream with because it's more intuitive to novice/non-programmers and I personally happen to like it better than Python (which is also a coolio intuitive language, you should check it out!).
Version Control: Git
Well... if you're here then you probably have an idea what Git is. I find management of branches/merging to be much more smooth and intuitive in Git than in Subversion, not that I intend to have a whole lot of that in this project.
If you're wondering why I can 'git co' and it comes up with an error for you, check out git aliases! I got so used to some of those at work, I didn't realize they weren't built in automatically. And was super lost when I tried to start up a brand new environment from scratch and nothing worked...
