for c/c++ you will need a compiler , a linker and some sort of text edior. I like JIPE a java editer , it can be used on windows and linux so you have the same interface to deal with. You may want to start with somthinh a bit easier. ie java , whickh is similar to c/c++ but you will not need a linker and the JDK has all you need but the editer (you can use jipe , emacs, or vi or even plian ol joe) Most all of what you learn frpom java you can cary over to C/C++. java has built in garbage collection , and therefpore no pionters. Other options are pearl , tcl/tk , and python. All are interpeted and can be used at the command propmt kind of like bdase III . This moths linux journal has a whole python insert and several articals on python as well. Python is much more slicker and better at oop acording to one of the artiucal(lets not start a labguage war)Any way its a much newer one than perl and tcl/tk so its more slicker and suports opp a lot better. I have just gotten a TYS python , as I liked what I read in the articals. Java is real neat inits multi platform ability (python cando both win/linux to) but seems to be stumbling las six months or so. Just my .02 from a begining leval programer to be If I can ever finish a programing book.I have palyed around with clarion on dos , a little clipper , and sstarted some Java at least with java what I learn can be taken over to c/c++ , but python looks promising as well.

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.
