Where to go from here?

[Loomster]

I really enjoy programming, and i've just completed a qbasic class for school. I'd like to move to something more advanced and powerful, and im looking for advice on what i should try next. I'd prefer something in linux, since i now use it alot. Where is a good site for linux programming, IDEs, etc.

Thanks!

Personally, I like C++, C, and Java. Others would recommend Python (http://www.python.org) as an introductory object oriented language. All work well on Linux - Python comes with an interactive interpreter, but no IDE that I'm aware of. For C or C++, there's Anjuta (http://anjuta.sourceforge.net) , which I've heard is good, but there are others. Java also offers several IDE's the best of which I'm told is Borland's JBuilder. Personally, for small personal projects, I don't think you can beat Vim (http://www.vim.org) and a good Makefile. There's my $0.02.

there are (almost) endless linux programming resources out there! you can keep hanging out here go to a site dedicated to programmin under linux.

i would recommend java for learning OOP, C for learning functional programming (C is a must to know if you plan to dig deep into linux) or python/perl if you want to do scripting.

well,

Loomster, you already had good info about PLs and will have more too, and about resources, well the rule of thumb is that go to G:):)GLE (http://www.google.com) and try a search

HTH !!!
