I need your help: Learning to program

The best way to learn program is to do it.

Let us know what language you want to program in and what sort of programs you want to write.

We will let you know what tools you need, if any, and how to install them.

We can also suggest books or websites to get you started.

Hello Warren

   I do not have any idea what kind of programing language should we need ? it is only need to write for a new documentation system. I can only draw and tell you what it is and how it works.

i will be glad if you tell me which design programs convenient and useful for linux ubuntu interface design. if is there a program which can replace the icons it will very useful for me. i have downloaded 2 programs which are, QTfor designer, Glade interface design... i did not understand them.

let me to know where should i start

i can use Adobe = PS,Ai,FL,inD

Thank you for help.

I suggest you use Python, it is very well documented. You may find some Pyton forums and beinner guides. Start with hello world programs and such to learn the basics and build up

Take a look at quickly see here

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Quickly

It uses python as the programming language and glade to design the graphical elements of the user interface. There are lots of tutorials around and you should be able to get something simple working quickly to demonstrate Menus, Toolbars etc.

i looked and installed "quickly" program. but it is not working properly maybe i did something wrong. commands were not working except "quickly design" command. it was like doing something but nothing happened... on the other hand i have already installed the program by ubuntu downloader which is "Glade"

Open a terminal by pressing CTRL+ALT+T and enter the following command

---------------------------------------------

uname -a; lsb_release -a; apt-cache policy quickly

---------------------------------------------

Quickly, only help me to make a new application. I thought you did not understand me. i told that i would like to design ubuntu desktop interface. application icons, folder icons, file icons, start bar, window cursors mouse cursor etc...

i cannot design them via quickly program

By program, do you really mean 'apply themes'?

Exactly yes ! ... a new theme but it is not only a theme. i have some ideas about new file documentation system. i will explain to programer who like to help me, when everything is certain.

That's NOTHING to do with programming.....

What is the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

Links are helpful but they are only changing and installing new themes. i searched more and learnt that ubuntu desktop interface 11.10 created with GTK 3... they are CSS codes. i found the some css files and icons into usr/share/themes/Ambiance folder but it is not enough. i wanted to reach and change all of them. system preferenses icons ubuntu folder icons..... do i need css code program to edit them ?

thank you
