Well I just made the switch to kubuntu from windows about a week ago. When I used windows, I did some programming with the windows api to make GUI apps. My question is:what is the linux equivalent to the windows api? I thought is was xserver but I can't seem to find a development kit for that anywhere and I am almost positive that I don't already have it. Thanks.

Re: Programming GUI
Kdevelop(sudo apt-get install kdevelop) is probably the most well known multi-language IDE for developing application on KDE. Unless it has been changed recently it includes the Qt designer for making GUI.
Right now i am fooling around with wxWidgets with Python.
There is also the Gtk library that one can use.
Qt, Gtk, and wxWidgets are multi-platform so they can be used in windows as well as Linux.
Also, remember to get the build-essential from the repository if you are working in C/C++ (sudo apt-get install build-essential)

Re: Programming GUI
Besides KDevelop, I'm also using Qt4 and Netbeans. Some loves Anjuta. Yeah, I know, too many choices, but it's a personal preference... try a couple and decide which fits better. And you don't have to worry about compatibility.Dax Solomon Umaming<br />http://blog.knightlust.com/Comment
