In which I use new projects January 21, 2011
Posted by Rich in server, work.1 comment so far
At work, I’ve been working on debugging some C code for the past few weeks. It’s been a tedious task, but I’ve been greatly aided by some various tools:
- vim for all file editing
- gcc for compilations
- make for managing the build dependencies and such
- gdb for debugging the running process
Yes, it seems I eschew IDE’s. I’ve recently happened upon git, which is a fantastic version-control system. I’m just learning the basics now, but it should help immensely, not just for the occasional coding I do for work, but also for managing the documents I write using LaTeX.
In a related vein, I happened upon redmine, a project tracking system. I just installed it to my home server and am trying it out. I already have apache and mysql installed, so it was a simple matter of installing ruby on rails with redmine running on top. I also tried syncing over a git repository there, everything works quite well.
At any rate, it’s exciting to use all of these free (in both senses of the word) tools to hopefully improve my work!
