Feel free to go to http://ubuntu.com/ to download whichever of the FREE versions of Ubuntu you wish to run. The FREE and safely secured Ubuntu repository/app store has 30,000+ mostly FREE packages/apps. <b>Would you like your app to be available or on sale for the 12 million Ubuntu users at the Ubuntu Software Center (ie. app store) also?</b> </p></ul> . <p> We won't try to cover these topics exhaustively but we'll give you glimpses into the vast resources and tools freely avaiPlable to <b>build a career path via Ubuntu</b>: <ul><li>The tremendous support available from the worldwide, 24x7 Ubuntu community. <li>The easy installation of Ubuntu itself and of development tools on Ubuntu. <li>Factors that make Ubuntu a great target to develop for and a great development platform. <li>Use of the ingenious 'Quickly' Python RAD development tool for streamlined inclusion in the Ubuntu Software Center app store. <li>PyGTK and GNOME development. <li>Installation of the popular Eclipse IDE and language-specific plug-ins. Ubuntu as a development platform for Android and other mobile devices.</ul> . <p> <u> NOTE:</u> Ubuntu makes an excellent development platform to work on most any open standard language including, but not limited to: Python (the language officially favored promoted for Ubuntu), JavaScript/ECMAscript, Perl, PHP, Java, Ruby, C, C++, C#, Objective C, Pascal, Erlang, Smalltalk, Shell (BASH, etc.), BASIC, CFML, SQL and the new 'NoSQL' alternatives like CouchDB, and even some modeled after proprietary languages like Gambas (modeled on Visual Basic), Lazarus (modeled on Delphi) of course not to mention all the web technologies such as HTML, XHTML, XML, CSS, etc.; many different cross platform frameworks, including but not limited to: Django, J2EE, J2ME, .NET/Mono, KDE/qt, GNOME/GTK+, wxWidgets, etc.; and target most any device you wish, including Android, ARM, Unix and various embedded devices -- even to a significant extent the proprietary platforms such as Blackberry iPhone, MS Windows and Macintosh; using a number of industrial strength IDEs including Eclipse, NetBeans, Code: Blocks, KDevelop, vim, emacs, and gedit. Ubuntu is well suited to developing for cloud computing too and even creating your own cloud. Eucalyptus is featured in the Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, and a number of other cloud computing environments are available as well.
