Re: How to write web applications in Linux/C++/X Window?

Hi Lili,

>Can I write internet applications in Linux / Apache/ C++ / X window?

Yes!

>and how?

Errrrrr, ummmmm, that's a bit harder.

For starters, read Stroustrup's book on C++ Programming Language (3rd 
edition or special edition), from Addison-Wesley.

Then read the X11 books from O'Reilly.

Then read the O'Reilly book on writing Apache (HTTP server) mods.

Then read an IDG, Addison-Wesley, and/or O'Reilly books on programming on 
Linux.

You also need to have a good idea of the application you are thinking 
of.  For example, if you were making a massively multiplayer on-line role 
playing game, you could use Linux as your application server and X11 
client, Apache as your forum, C++ as your programming language, and X11 as 
your UI.  Users would need an X11 server to display your X11 client 
applications running on your Linux-based MMOLRPG server.

I can think of several other internet application scenarios, where the 
architecture would be drastically different from the one described above.

Sincerely,
