basically, i am thinking of making a content management system for the sony psp
i want to make it with gtk, and all it really needs to do is detect when a psp is connected, then search various subdirectories for music, videos and photos - and allow the management of said content
i have tried learning c/c++ before with limited success, because i just get bored following tutorials. i need a real project to teach me how to do this stuff
so i wil be teaching myself
- the programming language i write this in
- gtk
- how the hell you do file system stuff
- how the hell you detect usb devices, and specifically if it is a psp
firstly, do you think this is a really silly way to learn all of those things? is it just too much? i have quite a bit of programming experience in VB and also a tool called "gamemaker" (which altho somewhat unsophisticated, did teach me how to program and has syntax comparable to c++)
secondly, what language? i was thinking c++
thirdly, any general comments?
oh yeah and fourthly, gtk is what xfce is based on right? i want it to be happy to run in xfce *without* additional libraries being loaded
