I am also looking to start some simple programming.  Are there any good
IDE's for FreeBSD, or even utilities that can generate makefiles and
config files?  I would like to start with some simple 'hello world'
console programs, then move to simple Xwindows.  But the build procedure
looks very complex, as well as include files for X.  On my amiga,
makefiles were simple, and i had a separate floppy for each project with a
makefile that did everything i needed.  But 'make' has gotten quite a bit
more complex.
