title: C and C++ programming on Ubuntu 11.10
body: <p>I've recently installed Ubuntu 11.10 and along with it the CodeBlocks IDE and I am aware that I have gcc and the std libraries by default.</p>
  
  <p>My questions are:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Do you you have any tips for a new C++ programmer on Ubuntu?</li>
  <li>Any libraries I should get from the start?</li>
  <li>A really good IDE I'm missing? (YMMV but I prefer to work in IDE's)</li>
  <li>Any programming boons or traps I should be aware of from the start?</li>
  </ul>
