Hi Lili,
>Can I write internet applications in Linux / Apache/ C++ / X window?
Yes!
>and how?
Errrrrr, ummmmm, that's a bit harder.
For starters, read Stroustrup's book on C++ Programming Language (3rd
edition or special edition), from Addison-Wesley.
Then read the X11 books from O'Reilly.
Then read the O'Reilly book on writing Apache (HTTP server) mods.
Then read an IDG, Addison-Wesley, and/or O'Reilly books on programming on
Linux.
You also need to have a good idea of the application you are thinking
of. For example, if you were making a massively multiplayer on-line role
playing game, you could use Linux as your application server and X11
client, Apache as your forum, C++ as your programming language, and X11 as
your UI. Users would need an X11 server to display your X11 client
applications running on your Linux-based MMOLRPG server.
I can think of several other internet application scenarios, where the
architecture would be drastically different from the one described above.
Sincerely,
