I need to write a couple of small GUI applications but have never done
so on Linux. I'm fairly conversant with linux but have never written
any code for it. I know this tends to be subjective and I dont want a
flame war
This is Usenet. Flame wars have started over mispelled words.
alt.pipe.dreams is --> that way.
can anyone suggest the best language to learn to do this with?
This depends on how complex your finished app will be and the languages
you're familiar with. There are 2 widget sets in wide use that look
good and can do almost everything, GTK+ and Qt. Qt is intended to be
used from C++, GTK+ has bindings for tons of languages (native C, can be
called from Perl, Python, and C++ without much hassle). It's possible
to use gtk2-perl to rapidly prototype things using GTK+. One thing
to remember if your gtk2-perl program is doing a lot of I/O or
CPU-intensive junk: make sure to define a subroutine that does
"Gtk2->main_iteration while Gtk2->events_pending;" , otherwise your GUI
may not update. HTH,
