Detecting file creation in folder


How can i detect a file creation in a folder. I mean i want to write a code that shows an alert window when a new file is created in a particular folder. In windows, VB can be used to do this. But i don't know what to use in linux. I mean something that can detect a new entry in inode number table or something like that.
