I think I would, at this time, continue to recommend, at least initially, one of the scripting languages as a good place to start learning about writing GUI applications. Certainly after you've developed a prototype, you could then make the determination as to what pieces need to be rewritten in C or C++ for performance reasons. While certainly one could write GUI apps in C or C++, I wouldn't wish that on anyone as a place to start. Play with something lighter weight first, to gain an understanding of issues, design concerns, etc. and then look into something else only if needed. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gopi K Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 1:32 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: Help on GUI Tools Hey Larry ~ Well , i am doing my MS .and for that i am supposed to build a S/W .After lots of googling around, i managed to get some info out. Now , i have an option to choose from Windows Platform and LINUX Platform. i have choosen LINUX for many reasons, but have no clue about the programming tools used in LINUX. and with respect to Languages, wel..yes i do know quite a bit of them C,C++ to name a few. now , i am quite unsure , how should i start offf.....
