I'd agree, MSVC is about the best IDE that I've used if you're looking for a single solution. For C/C++ development in Linux, Anjuta and Kdevelop are very nice. I don't know how well their GUI editors work, but they are based on GTK & QT respectively. Qtdesigner is the best C++ GUI designer I've used, very feature rich & easier to pickup than MFC coding, IMO. FLTK is a very good lightweight C++ toolkit/GUI editor which I like a lot.
These are all C++ based, so that may be an issue. If you want to do Linux GUI development in an easy scripting language, I'd suggest learning Python (the learning curve is very shallow) and check out this page http://www.metaslash.com/brochure/tutorial/ Hope that helps Brad > -----Original Message----- > From: Don Gould [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, April 02, 2004 8:58 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Gnomemeeting to go to QT --> QT Demo... > > > Are there many programmers on this list? > > I've spent years programming in VB, FoxPro, SQL(variants a > many), VBA, ASP, > ... you get the GUI idea... > > So far I've been very diselusioned by everything I've seen in > the Linux > programming world. > > I've yet to actually see a fully interactive GUI based development and > debugging enviornment such as you get with VB, ASP (Visual > Interdev) and the > rest of the Microsoft tools. > > I'd start developing more applications for the Linux platform > but I've yet > to see anything other than very basic 'code and compile' CLI > enviornments > that I used to use back in the early 80's.
