hey everyone. ive never done anything but basic console programming before and id really like to go graphical. i am thusly beginning a project to create a program with "the works" . . . things like drag-and-drop, graphics dispay, menus and windowwing, etc.
id like to create a program to graphically display and manipulate nodes of a neural system (a collection of nodes and links between them) and be able to "zoom out" and see larger three-dimensional structures . . . or whatever that means . . . i really only have a very fuzzy idea of what, exactly, id like to do . . .
i may or may not be up to something like this (i havent been programming for six years) but im the kind of person that just jumps right in and im looking at linux. (oh . . . you sweet, sexy . . . luscious . . . ohhhh, oh . . . ;))
im a man of open-source and i would love you for some help getting started with linux gui.
