What I need to be Unix experience

Hi everybody
I an new to this forum. I am a C++ programmer in windows platform. I use visual studio as my IDE.

Most of C++ jobs also required unix experience. I only know basic unix commands. If I want to claim that I can develop C++ in unix platform what I need to know which path I should follow and how to process. It might be a long term but I wanted to know some clear idea how to approach. I can install linux in my pc or anything needed I can do.

(1) When moving from windows to unix what changes I will encounter.
(2) What IDE or IDEs I should need to develop c++ project in Unix/linux
(3) what are other issue which I should know.

Any guide for transition from windows to linux/unix development will be appreciate.
Thank you.

(1) When moving from windows to unix what changes I will encounter.


No Win32API and no .NET Framework.

(2) What IDE or IDEs I should need to develop c++ project in Unix/linux


Personally. I use Eclipse+CDT for both my Windows and *Nix C++ Development

(3) what are other issue which I should know.


Learn to use popular 3rd party tools like Boost. Boost is especially useful as parts of it will form the new C++ standard, and it's multi-platform.
