The programming environment and language depends on your target application, target users, and target platform.
So the first question would be: what kind of app do you want to write? Are you planing a specific application that you want to sell? Once you dcide what you want to write and market, I can give you a recommendation for a language. Or, alternatively, do you want to offer your programming skills as an independent contractor to other projects? Then you should only offer the languages that you know *really* well. Almost all the software that I was involved in used heavy graphics and was time critical. That is no field for an interpreted web language. I also designed a few device with a PIC microcontroller (2kBytes ROM). Assembler is the only way to go here. But I started a database heavy app once, and boy that is a pain in C++! BTW, you mention XP. XP is completely and totally outdated. Windows 7 would be you target. - Matthias _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
