Numpty Linux Question
Ceniza:
Many programming languages can do OO nowdays, even the scripted ones like Perl, Tcl/tk and Python. I've never tried Perl, Tcl/tk syntax is awful and Python is just lovely, but what I love the most of C/C++ is the performance and how close they're to the machine.
Now, getting a bit more on-topic, PHP, Perl, Tcl and Python do really look like a better choice than CGI nowdays for that purpose.
If you want to do it the CGI way, you'll really have to worry. "Thinking In C++" (it's a book you can get for free) could help you a bit since one of its chapters is about CGI (I've never read it myself, so I don't know how much it really covers).

Hey! Thanks for the replies.
>it does matter what kind of Linux you use insofar as you may use an incompatible version of glibc or any other library that you link to
This raises a more general question for me. If I produce a Linux app, say I build it under SuSe Linux, is the binary going to run on Redhat or Urbuntu? How do I ensure compatibility? Is it easy to produce an out-of-da-box application which can simply be installed and executed?
Having spent most of my time programming for Windows, I'm new to this area. However, the combination of CodeBlocks and wxWidgets has opened up a new and exciting area for me.
Thanks for the suggestions on using scripts. At this stage I'm only exploring possibilities. Rather than being stuck with producing client-only applications, it would be great if I could run them from a server. I don't know whether I will use a binary or a scripting language. Have hacked about with Perl & Tk in the past. However, Python looks more promising.
Thanks again. :)
