DevGuide/CodeEditors

Introduction

So you want to adjust the sourcecode to your wishes, get rid of some bugs that bother you and help to improve the code, great! While theoretically it all an be done with VI and command line instructions, learning to code for Paparazzi this way is a little cumbersome. Therefore it is a good idea to set up an IDE Integrated Development Environment.

As you may have noticed, this page is far from finished, it really would be great if you help to improve this page with even a small improvement.
