[SLE] Linux programming

I would like to know where to start in Linux programing- I started to read some information on text editors, what do I need to know , also info on compilers? Can I use the installed XEmacs on 6.3 or do I need gcc and gcc frontend to start? Thanks Darrell PS- I am a newbie to Linux and starting programming VB-only for my job, but I want a broader base. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
