Hello all.
This is kind of off topic. My apologies in advance.
I am helping a non profit organization and giving some classes to
prepare students so they can be prepared and try to get a job (they
are students also and have the basics concepts already)
Anyway, I am interested in teach them to develop some simple
applications. From simple ones to destktop ones that access a
database, desktop ones that use internet to connect to a remote
database and web based ones with a database behind. We have 6 months
and the idea is to work a lot remotely. Thin is that I do not want to
use any kind of Microsoft products. Some of them do not have modern
machines but until now, in previous classs, we could install Freebsd,
text mode, and work from there.
Now we will try to have a graphical mode in Freebsd. With that we
would like to be able to develop graphical applications for Windows
(we all know that's the market and here some companies is what they
are looking), so maybe sound crazy but I am looking to develop
applications for Windows without using WIndows or Microsofot products
at least.
I have been looking for this for months. First case using Windows but
not Microsoft products. I found some options BUT they all were
expensive on the deployment. The "runtimes" were not free and the
amount of money to pay was not a good option. Others provide " real
free" excutables for runtimes but the products were expensive. I am
now trying to, If possible, have FreeBSD running graphically and then
use open source software to develop graphical windows applications.
Maybe I am wrong but until now I think my only option is to use
Phyton. Is that correct? For what I have searched Python will let me
create executables and will let me create Graphical solutions even for
other platforms (Mac or LInux or whatever runs Python).
Talking with friend, he believes that my best bet is to teach them C
or C++ and use some of the options for developing graphically ( I am
not a C or C++ expert but I can learn alone).
I was wondering if you could give some advie and comments on this.
Are you developing commercial applications (including Windows ones)
using FreeBsd as your platform? Or Maybe any Linux Distribution?
Would you do that with Python or something else?
Depending on what you really need to solve decides your language. Others
have offered advice here, but may I suggest Perl? For most data and its
proven ability to handle/match string data it is very useful. And using
tk it will run on windows as well.
My 2c... :)
