Ah yes. The infamous CLRS!
If it isn't in there, its not an algorithm.

That is a good book, but not appropriate for this introductory list.
(Selling that for beer money! Sigh...:( )

you dont have java installed.


sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

then try again - if you're confused on how to use jar, consult its man page.

Python is an interpreted language - so if your end user has installed the necessary libs they can run your .py files. If there is a configuration error, or they don't have the libraries the...

I've used eclipse since 2.x as my java dev enviro of choice.

I think its definately the stronger of the two since its got plugins to do just about anything you could think of - from designing...

I use glade for making my python guis.

Pretty easy to learn and also easy to implement as there are good tutorials all over the internet.

I'm getting excited about this.
Anybody make a project page yet?
A wiki or something would be useful to start organizing thoughts.

I also agree that we should stick to ObjC before going...

Random story.

I ran into some guy on the Metra this morning with a stack of Ubuntu cds and stickers, and I told him to check out the forums/meeting on the 27th.

He said he was in LUNI (Linux...

Code of Conduct is signed.
See you around the IRC

I've got a gpg key.

How do I officially sign the Ubuntu Code of Conduct?

I'm going to do my best.
It's a bit of a hike from my neck of the woods, and I need to move my work schedule around.

You probably never installed libgtkmm (C++ wrappers for gtk)

Open up synaptic and install libgtkmm-2.4-dev

If you're doing Windows stuff - I reccommend C#. You get managed memory, and a java like language that got right most of the stuff java got wrong. Rich api, and fast learning curve.

That'd be my...

I'm still in the research phase.
Reading up on what the script can do, and figuring out what is feasible.

I agree with tseliot, in the second half France was spending most of their time on offense - but Italy was able to pull through due to some masterful defense.

If you want to do it in c/c++ try using the gtk windowing library, because it uses glib which allows for easy porting.

I could do this. I'm looking for a project right now anyway.
Even if you don't know much programming, you could help out with the interface design.

What do you find lacking in the other...

It'd be nice if that was true - but in the end, if a company doesnt want to hire a bunch of programmers to do drivers for platform X, thats their decision and their money.

I wish more of them who...
