python?

[DEVILofDARKNESS]

Okay, I just want to make desktop applications, that run both on linux(ubuntu) and on windows (XP)

 

Which language is designed for this?

 

Python?

C/C++?

Perl?

 

I'm currently making my desktop apps with bash, which is ofcourse not the same,

and I want to make real,(good) ones;

 

Thanks

I suggest C/C++.

 

 

But, to be fair, I know relatively nothing about Python.  (You can actually make GUIs with PHP, but it's rarely done.)

 

 

Oh, and you could also use Java.

Python?

Python works really well in combination with GTK on both linux and windows

C/C++?

I've heared that you'll need different libraries for your gui on windows and linux not sure though.

Perl?

Haven't seen a perl desktop app but I'm sure its possible.

 

One that you haven't mentioned is java. you might want to concider this one

C# (and other .net stuff) also runs under linux thanks to the Mono Project .

And I much prefer it above java for anything GUI related.

There are cross platform libraries.  GTK and Qt are the first ones that come to mind.
