there is an old tutorial that could still be useful to read:
- https://www.kamailio.org/docs/kamailio-devel-guide/
Then I would look to some of the small modules (e.g., math for exporting functions to kamailio.cfg, alias_db for database interaction and module parameters, ...).
You can ask on sr-dev mailing list when you have some questions about the existing C code.
I use vim-gui variants (macvim or gvim) most of the time for development, because I got used to it for long time. I would say that these days VSCode would be a good, still simple, ide/code editor -- plenty of extensions for c development.
Cheers, Daniel
I did some playing around with building my own first Kamailio module as a minor project of mine. I used ChatGPT to get the initial confidence boost and it gave surprisingly good answers and enough to get me started.

Beware of these initial confidence boosts, especially when you are not in a great position to judge whether you are, in fact, "surprisingly good" answers.
Not saying LLMs can't help, but they're far and away the most useful as personal accelerators to people who already know what they're doing in a domain and simply want to cut out some tedium, not as a means of learning something deeply for the first time.
