Re: Programming Languages / IDEs

Hi Rob,

I would like to learn a Language to write applications in Linux.

I am not a professional by any means the Language I am most familiar
with is Visual Foxpro. I have done things in Visual Basic as well.

(I have a feeling I will be waiting a long time before they appear on
Linux)

This is what I have found so far.

C++ KDevelop
Pascal Lazarus (Looks very impressive)

Any other suggestions?

I tried learning C with a book long time ago and found it was too hard.

I hear that C++ is quite difficult to learn

With Lazarus I could use books on Delphi to Learn both the language and
the IDE


So what do you suggest? How did you learn your programming skills?

Do I try and find a course on C++ and see if I can work out KDevelop ?
(I don't even know what program to launch)

Do I try to learn Lazarus from books on Delphi?
