Apple release swift as open source so,any IDE available to Implement on Linux?
As another user correctly stated, Xcode is an IDE, and Swift is a language. This is like asking: can we use Microsoft Visual Studio on Linux, since C and C++ can be used on Linux? Maybe in the future - yes, but not any time soon.
As for the limitations of Swift on Linux, I think the most important ones to note are:
1) The port of Swift to Linux is brand new. There are bugs. In fact, some people can't even use it on Linux as advertised. I could, but this is probably dependent on the specific installation of Linux. Mine is Ubuntu 14.04, but for others it failed on the same OS, Ubuntu 14.04. Not good.
2) For now we cannot use Swift on Linux to write apps for iOS and other Apple platforms.
3) A lot of frameworks/software libraries that can be used to program in Swift on Mac OS X using Xcode won't be available on Linux.
Swift on Linux is, as I understand it, intended for people to learn this new high-level cool language, so they can eventually start programming on Mac OS X or write Linux applications faster, taking advantage of the Swift language features.

For a long term university project involving a small team (2/5 people),
using Matlab and Java, we are trying to set up an SVN.
The problem is that the computers used in this project run different OS.
The main computer where the code should be compiled and tested in the laboratory runs Linux Ubuntu 16.04 LTS,
our supervisor, which would have admin rights uses MacOS, while the other computers would have either Windows or MacOS.
As we are not familiar with SVN, I believe it would be better chose a programme with a comprehensive GUI such as
smartSVN. The difficulty lies in finding an opensource that works across all platforms or at least Mac and Linux.
Is there any other free software, with GUI, that you'd suggest?
Thank you!
You can work with multiple SVN clients on the same remote repository. The GUI of a client is just a visual layer of the svn protocol.
You can use tortoiseSVN on Windows, smartSVN on Mac, an integrated client inside your IDE on Linux, or whatever you want.
In your case, you should have only the source code in your repository and a different configuration on the computers.

Can visual studio IDE be installed in linux ? Visual studio includes many programming languages like c # , F# etc. so for web development .net platform with c # programming is used. For back end development sql queries are used . In linux platform, What can be an alternative to .net. I have researched that there are many options like java, PHP etc.
My question is whether the visual studio can be installed in linux or there are alternative languages or platforms for it.
Can visual studio IDE be installed in linux? Probably not. But there is free .NET implementation on linux Mono. And the .NET cross-platform IDE MonoDevelop.
Yes, you can install VirtualBox and use it to spin up a virtual-windows-machine. On that VM you can install VS or any other Windows application.

I was just wondering if you can recommend me a Linux OS for my Samsung 900x laptop. I just want to familiarize myself with the Linux OS and I know companies like people who uses Linux. Thanks!
you should ask this kind of questions in linux forums.
depending on your hardware and knowledge level you can choose a distro to use.
for example if you want to just use your OS out of the box, you can use distributions like Linux Mint and Ubuntu.
I recommend you to try a live linux disk like Knoppix which has some Desktop environments installed.
then you can choose what Desktop you like (Gnome shell, KDE, xfce,...)
and if you ever wanted to install linux on hard disk, you at least know what you want.
good luck and welcome to GNU/Linux world!

I'm thinking of buying a netbook with linux installed for school and at home, but i'm not sure. Because i want to use it for things such as word as well as doing some coding.
Is there a terminal in it?
I've also heard that it can't run .exe is this true?
P.s what are the best linux netbooks and operating system? Thanks!
I would like to program in:
Python
Javascript
Ruby
and also would like to do some web development
Programming
I think that Linux is really great for programming. Installing other libraries is really a breeze. I would wholehardedly recommend Linux for Programming in:
C
C++
Python
Java
PHP
JavaScript
Haskell
Lua
Lisp
You can also do C# with the Mono toolchain, but I am not sure how compatible that is with the C# and .NET from Windows.
On Windows, I find programming a pain. C does not really work (unless you use Visual Studio maybe), Java works pretty well. Python works also kind of well.
If you want to develop games that run with DirectX, Windows is your only option. OpenGL seems powerful as well, and that runs everywhere.
Word
Doing “Word” stuff should be okay with LibreOffice or OpenOffice.org. It might not be super compatible with Microsoft Word, but you should do fine.
Linux Distro
Go with Ubuntu, maybe Xubuntu or Lubuntu on a Netbook. If you do not like Ubuntu, openSUSE and Fedora would be my next recommendations.
Hardware
Try to get as much Intel hardware as possible, that usually works flawlessly.
All of them.
For newbies I recommend Debian or Ubuntu but it depends on personal preferences.
Ubuntu has app center where you can find a lot of useful apps. Ubuntu has also great support for graphic interface.
Try it for free here.

I'm developing an application on a device that has Windows CE 5.0.
I need to change the OS, e.g. language installation & ... , and it seems that i need an IDE named Microsoft Platform Builder.
But how can i get it? is there any free release for download?
i googled the web, but got nothing!
There is an evaluation version of Platform Builder that is downloadable. I think it's a 30-day, though it may be more. If you have MSDN, the full version is also part of that. Otherwise you have to buy it from one of the distributors that sell it.
You'll also need a BSP (board support package) for your specific device. That comes from the device OEM, and without it you can't really do anything at all, so make sure you have access to that. If you don't have a BSP, installing Platform Builder is purely a waste of time (well unless you're after the shared source, which I recommend for any app dev).
Note: Microsoft moves things around a lot, plus Windows CE is effectively dead, so the links above may well go stale or just be completely lost to the ether. It's also getting harder to find a distributor for licenses.
