Hi George,

depending on your OS/environment/experience, you can either develop
using an editor + gdb (hardcore, only for jurgen I think :-) )
see install file how to compile:

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/INSTALL

or using QtCreator if you prefer an IDE, Tim Sutton wrote about that
recently:

For what I know most devs are on linux, maybe somebody with development
experience on Windows can chime in for that.

Feel free to ask questions on IRC

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
