Hallo, I'm just new wtih unix and FreeBSD and I have a question about programming languages, I want to learn some of them but don't know where to start. I heard that C is the most powerfull language under unix and almost the complete system is written under it. You can do everything with it. Where is a good toturial? Can you read and write directly with the printer port or does the kernell block that?? I got a programm from someone that putted some assmebler in his c programm to adress the printer port. And where can I find an overview of all the *.h files that you can use under FreeBSD Are there any visual programming tools under FreeBSD, like click and drag like microsoft visual c? The only options that I found where: GTK, KDE libs and Gnome libs or directly tlak with the x server. The other languages that I know are: Perl, I could only find that it is especially for tasks for your system and that it's based on C Shell scripts, for tasks for your systems and simple programms Python. What are the advantages of these languages above C and are there more programming languages under FreeBSD? I don't want to start a war, where everybody says "What I'm doing is best", like microsoft! I just want to know what are the common advantages of those languages.
