i don't know if this is necessarily the recommended place to ask this, but here we go. i've recently become more actively interested in learning programming. freebsd, obviously, has a pretty wide range of tools available, and i'm a little unsure where to start. rather than ask something too generalized, like "how can i learn to program?", i have a few questions about some specific languages/tools. 1. is anyone using aleph or pike? if so, what are your impressions so far, and how well do they integrate with other languages? (most notably python and/or c/c++). 2. most of the projects i'm interested in working on are to be x-based. i've seen a lot of gui toolkits and libraries, but what are some ways these are actually implemented? preferrably platform independent, as i don't like kde or gnome (mmm. fluxbox.) 3. are there any integral things i should install as supplementals, like bindings for python, when first starting? if this is too general, my main curiousity right now lies in aleph, perl, pike, and python. perhaps c/c++ later on. 4. developer environments (i.e. kdevelop): yes or no? (i'm leaning towards no, since i tend to get more work done without dozens of terminals full of crap). i suppose that about covers it. i'm somewhat curious to see the responses on this (if it actually receives any). - erik To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
