Very Computer

hello!

I am fairly new to Linux and Unix, been playing w/ it for a few months
now.  I want to get into programming with GUI interfaces and was
wondering which system/widget set is the best/easiest to use.

I have some prior experience programming in C/C++ using the Borland
C++ IDE for windows (though all my programs (games) ran in DOS, so I
have never done any window/GUI programming before) and I use Perl
every day at work for CGI stuff.

I guess first off that I want to make GUIs for some of my Perl
scripts, so my co-workers can use them without having to use command
line options (which confuses them) but then I DO want to get back into
C/C++ programming at some future time.

So, my priorities are:

1 - Ease of use
2 - Use in Perl and C/C++
3 - Run in KDE and Gnome

and to a lesser extent
4 - Easy port to Windows 98/NT

Also maybe reccomend some good books on the subject of Unix
programming in general, and specificly the info above.

Thanks all.

I have links to some at http://members.home.com/davecook/devel/#book

O'Reilly has a new book out on Perl/Tk.  There are also Gtk and Qt modules
for Perl.  I believe Perl/Tk may work in windows if you have both Perl and
Tcl/Tk installed.

My favorite language/toolkit for GUI programming is Python/Gtk (pygtk for
short).  See www.gtk.org for more info.  

pygnome is even easier, but I would describe the GNOME docs as
one line description goes here

This might be worth a look. Its a C++ class library for GUI\widgets. It
builds under Linux and NT.
