Tutorials for what? You need to let me know what it is you're looking for.

Programming, as in what? Application development, web development, shell scripting, or something else?

Alright, assuming you have no programming background, your best bet would be to start learning C. Not C++, but C.

That is the basic starting point for most application developers.

As for development tools for linux distros, your best bet would be to try posting in the alternate O/S forum.

I thought that eclipse was geared toward java. Although it probably does double as a C/C++ IDE, and I just didnt know
