How to get started with coding blender 2.8?

General Forums Blender Development Discussion

Hey.
Totally new to this.
How do I get started at experimenting with the code of blender 2.8?
I mean, editing the code of blender 2.8 to make my own version of it, and compiling it?
What programs do I need to download and from where? Also, where do I get the blender code?

I know I won’t be able to do much, but probably moving butons and menus around to find better design solutions wouldn’t be that hard, eh?..
