Hello, It's great to hear from you! * We work primarily on unix machines - ubuntu specifically. IDEs we have worked on include Eclipse, NetBeans and Aptana studio. * I know git, but am not very experienced with it. I have worked briefly with perforce. * The course evaluation would be in the beginning of December, so that gives us time till the end of November to complete the project.
If there is any more information I could provide you with, I'd be more than glad to. I'll be going through the link you've mentioned shortly. Once again, thank you for your response.
