worthful programming language/environment

[Nareto]

hello, i would like to extend my programming knowledege, precisely in the direction of making a program graphically integrated in the gnome desktop. I have taken courses at university on C, with which i am fairly confident, and on processing (http://processing.org/) which is a programming environment (for what i understand based on java), and, that's it. Well actually studying mathematics i am frequently exposed to algorithms (pseudo-code) in classroom, but no hands-on and language-specific things.

To you experienced programmers, which is the genuine way to go for me? ;)

ot: is the "solved" forum function still disabled?

Well since you know C and want to program for the Gnome desktop, learning GTK+ would be the obvious choice. The tutorial (http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk-tutorial/stable/) is a good place to start.

Monodevelop has support for compiling most languages. It's all done in C#, Mono has good bindings for the GNOME stack so you might also consider that as well at any rate Monodevelop is very nice.

Thank you, i'm giving a look at those

have a look at the code of existing programs. see you can find and fix a bug in one.

could someone briefly clear me out what difference there is between monodevelop and anjuta?

Monodevelop has lots of integrated features, IF you're using C# (GUI designer, language completion, etc). If you're using another language, the benefits are less compared to things like Anjuta

Of course, it costs you nothing to try both
