[tde-devels] TDE Development for Newbies

I apologize if this has already been addressed in the mailing list or on the wiki, but what are some best practices when doing TDE/TQt development? I'm fairly new to programming, although I know enough to be dangerous with git and have a general understanding of programming concepts such as data types, OOP, etc. I haven't used C++ before but interested in learning.

What does your programming environment look like? Do you code in a VM or container so that you don't mess with your main system's configuration? What's your favorite editor or IDE? I'm curious what you're typical workflow looks like.

Thanks, Mike
