I'm finally making the switch from my Windows desktop to a Linux desktop. �The one thing that's holding me back some is the development environment. �In Windows, I'm used to working with VB, the .NET Studio, Homesite, etc. �The web development area isn't a problem (using Quanta), but the desktop development area is. �As near as I can tell, there is no clear comparison in Linux. �
I have found KDevelop, and Gambas, and both seem to serve their purpose (not sure if I would use Gambas though). �KDevelop looks to be pretty powerful, but either I'm missing some core knowledge (likely), or you need to be a low level developer to use it. �Writing a console based app seems to be simple enough (need to actually do one though to be sure), depending on the language chosen. �But there seems to be an intuitive wall that I can't seem to get through for the desktop apps. So, I'm looking for tips and/or tutorials on how to BEGIN programming for the Linux desktop. �Thanks in advance. Shawn (I posted this to the programming sig, but thought others not on that list might have some input as well...) _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
