While Java is a Very powerful Programming language, Developing GUI is a pain, seriously! I'm yet to find a decent GUI builder for it, The best one is probably netbeans which generates ugly codes. I wonder why they are not using XML based GUIs like glade3 uses.
For a beginner Gui development in Java will be very very frustrating. I'll suggest go with a simple One, and Python will be best IMO. Go with wxWidget, I've not used it but heard good things about it. I personally use Glade3+libglade+python which does its job pretty nicely Python will be very easy to learn for you as you already know Ruby. They have some similarities. But I suggest if you want to program in Linux then learn C. it is the best programming language. as Linux is not all about GUI programs ;) There is a book name Advanced Linux Programming, its a free book, get it ... it will help you to get started in Linux programming ;) good luck On Thu, May 15, 2008 at 1:37 PM, Masum Masum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear friends > I'm interested to right programs for Linux.
