    Whats a good way to write GUI apps


    I need to write a couple of small GUI applications but have never
    done so on Linux (I'm a C/Delphi programmer on Windows normally)

    I'm fairly conversant with linux but have never written any code for it.

    I know this tends to be subjective and I dont want a flame war but can
    anyone suggest the best language to learn to do this with?

    I'm using Centos 4 if that's at all relevant.


    thanks in advance.

      I came from Foxpro myself in the windows world.

      Since you are in a PHP group, here is a PHP answer. While PHP got its start
      making web applications, it can also be used to do desktop apps. For
      linux, check out the php-gtk project, which lets you use GTK for the
      screens and widgets and put PHP behind them:

      PHP-GTK
      http://gtk.php.net/
      PHP-GTK is an extension for the PHP programming language that implements language bindings for GTK+.

          PHP-GTK also runs on Windows.
