Dot net 2.00 works best for Linux compatibility, later versions not so
well.

Programming directly with the Win32 interface allows you a lot more
opportunities for optimization.  It also, for all intents and purposes,
binds your software entirely to Windows so Linux and Mac hackers can't
help you port it to other platforms without tremendous headaches.  Linux
has a .Net compatibility box which I'm told works pretty good.
Otherwise, if you follow good programming practices, porting to the
other platforms is still easier than going all the way down to the Win32
level.

Happy Hacking,

        I'd like to learn Win32 but so far you seem to be expected to do
a lot of hand coding.

                Hi all, I'm knew to the list, but take quite an interest
in programming, particularlly for windows, using a gui interface.
HOwever, I have a couple of questions.
                


                1. What happen to the fruit basket demo project? Is it
still somewhere on the web?
                

                2. Is it still advised, or advantagious to program in
the win32 API? Most docs these days seem to indicate using windos forms,
and it appears that in my tests, supernova/hal from dolphin doesn't like
this environment.
                

                3. Out of lua, python and ruby, what language provides
good access to windosfeatures, such as gui interface, comm automation,
etc? Maybe java?
                


                Thanks for any help that you can offer,
                

                Arthur.
