Hello all,

I am curious of how to make a GUI interface that uses multiple programs and commands. I have found wxwidgets as the most likely candidate for making my own interface. Is this the best programming language for a beginner?

wxWidgets is a graphical toolkit - a library - not a programming language. By default, the wxWidgets library is used through C++, but there are bindings to various other languages.

I heavily recommend Python, if you're just starting out on the programming front. And, whatever you do, I would suggest you avoid using RAD tools like BoaConstructor to build your interface: learn to write the code for generating the GUI yourself, by hand. Mind you though, there is nothing wrong with using BoaConstructor to model your interface, I just wouldn't recommend building your entire application in it.



PS. For what it's worth, I much prefer using PyGTK (http://www.pygtk.org/).

Thank you indienick for the starting point!

No problemo! As always, if you come across anything that leaves you scratching your head, or you just can't figure out, feel free to ask!
