Good day,

I do have some knowledge about programming in windows. Quite some time ago. Delphi.

Would like to try my hand at some programming for fun in linux suse.

Kindly some advice on an "easy" program to use in suse please.

Check out Python (www.python.org). The interpreter is installed by default.

Enjoy, Robert

Python's a reasonable suggestion. If you want to write small apps with GUIs (graphical interfaces), you might also consider Tcl/Tk. It will get you started faster but won't take you as far.

Thanks. I happened to find a "Perl teach yourself" book 10 yrs old but with some good examples. Maybe I should settle for that.

Err, you think Tcl/Tk is 'heavy' while Perl is 'lightest'? I'd be interested to know how you came to that conclusion. :) Please note that I do use Perl a lot and that I didn't recommend it to you for a reason. It has a very big surface area (a lot to learn). A ten year-old book will not teach you modern Perl. If you do want to put in a lot of hours then learning Perl can certainly be thought-provoking. As has been said, there are answers to many questions on CPAN, but finding the best answer can take much effort.

Go to the Monodevelop site and do the 1-click install for the latest version. .NET is *extremely* well documented - something that can't be said of any of the 'competitors' - and Monodevelop will do almost all the hard work for you. If you come from Delphi, Turbo Pascal, or Borland OWL land you should be quite comfortable with .NET/Monodevelop.

Thanks. Looked at it. Looks wonderful. Too heavy for my use.

What on earth does "too heavy" mean? You don't want to install any software to support the activity of programming in said language? In that case, you'll have to stick to something that would otherwise be inadvisable from a standpoint of genericness, simplicity or basic programming language quality. That would include shell, Perl or C. (I'll refrain from stating which of those violate which of the stated criteria...)

Nothing. It means nothing. I always assume a statement like this is like when a newbie programmer [not yet a "developer"] looks at a complex application comprised of components and claims it is bloated and monolithic - which primarily means they can't perceive the individual components - which primarily means the application's developer(s) succeeded. So essentially it truly means either (a) nothing or (b) the exact opposite of what the speaker meant.

It wasn't intended to be humorous. C used to be the typical programming language taught in computer science and engineering classes. Nowadays it has shifted somewhat towards Java, but for someone like Johan who has already done development with Delphi (object pascal), C should be perfectly easy. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-1.4°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It's never really possible to recommend a language in the absence of some statement of what you want to do with it. Programming is a rather broad field, these days.

While I have never used them, what I do know makes me think the suggestions of Python and Ruby are reasonable, but they are what we call "general purpose" languages. Good for everything, but without any special features for any specific kind of application. All the domain-specific stuff that might be available to work in specific application areas comes from libraries, of which there are many.

If you said a little about what sort of program you want to write, a more specific recommendation would be possible.

Then I re-suggest Tcl/Tk. See http://tcl.tk. There is a Usenet group accessible via google (http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/topics?hl=en) for it (and most other languages) where you can ask when you stumble. It is a very friendly and helpful group. They are very welcoming to beginners. It is in fact a very simple language. The rules are few, and it is consistent. Don't let age decide for you. You may be surprised what you can do. And there is encouragement to be had.

I don't know Tcl (but respect it). I know perl (/Tk). As someone remarked, it can come very easily (see non-random) sigs 1 and 2. On the other paw, perl can be almost unreadble. A mess. So, as easily as some aspects of perl will be (esp. the "like a natural language" syntax stuff, e.g. '[do] $foo unless $bar'), that you can often express the flow of the logic 1:1 in perl, just as easily you can make it an utter mess. So, it'll take some discipline on the programmer's part. Then, perl scripts can be quite understandable and easy and even fun to read. And with CPAN, you've got a wealth of superb solutions already out there (but also some crap). And perl is very efficient in bolting together external tools and(!) parsing their outputs and juggle their arguments. More than a bash (maybe a zsh ...). And there's tons of good dokumentation, from absolute beginner to hacking perl's guts level. apropos perl | grep '^perl' is quite exhaustive. Start with 'man perlintro', familiarize yourself with 'perldoc -q', find a copy of 'Learing Perl' ... Oh, and then there's the perl-golf fun part. Though not even "perl-golf", trying to figure out how and why the following perl expression works is fun and educating: $max = [$a => $b] -> [ $a <= $b ]; ## Simon Cozens (luckily, that one doesn't get reworked by B::Deparse :) Oh, yes: there's a bunch of tools to help you tweak / grok code. Most notably: B::Deparse.

Just fwiw, the professional programmers I know have typically answered with a question - "what is it you want to do?" - before going on to suggest anything.

The answers after that have ranged from simple bash scripting over Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl/tk to Java.

First, any programming jobs out there ?????

I used it for 24 years on the mainframe, plus 13 years on Windows and now 11 years on Linux

Snip

Thanks for the suggestion. Did have look see. Too many new things to remember.

Good day,

I do have some knowledge about programming in windows. Quite some time ago. Delphi.

Would like to try my hand at some programming for fun in linux suse.

Kindly some advice on an "easy" program to use in suse please.

Thanks. Regards. Johan Sch.

Hi Johan,

Since you have Delphi-knowledge, why don't you try FreePascal and Lazarus ? http://www.freepascal.org/

Thanks. You are correct. Lazarus is like Delphi in windows. I still have my delphi 3 book, should work. Yes pascal I still remember some of it.
