You can use QT Designer for making things easier.But
You can do only very basic things like layouts
etc.Later you'll have to write events which are called
signals and slots in Linux front end development
terms.

In fact that depends on the kind of applications you
are trying to develope.If you are planning
client/server kind of application, better stick onto
databases like oracle, as they have good concurrency
and locking mechanisms.mySQL and PostgreSQL are used
for medium sized websites and i don't think they have
good concurrency controls which are very much needed
for client/server applications.

Wrox Publication's "Beginning Linux Programming" by
