RE: RE: [Plug] Basic Linux


I've done some GUI development (very minor) with Gtk+ and C, and it has
been very easy.  I already knew C, so I've already been over that hurdle.

Using the other bindings for Gtk+ to languages like perl or python is an
easy jump -- you can carry the GUI methodologies between the languages 
very easily.

There is even a drag and drop GUI builder for Gtk+, that I know interfaces
with C, and probably interfaces with the other langs -- I think it's called
Glade, you can find it off of the gnome website:  

  http://www.gnome.org

As far as I know, most of the same tools/functionality exist for Qt (the
GUI toolkit that KDE uses).
