OK, I have a BIG question.

I have done "tons" of development, written tens of thousands of lines of "code".

BUT NOTHING LATELY, I don't even "understand" object oriented, and I have NO tools.

Suppose I want to code for the "Q", but also for Windows, with the usual -- is the term "widgets" -- i.e. file/open, radio buttons, check boxes, etc.

I can code non-object-oriented C, have done some Pascal, Rexx, APL, assembler, Cobol, Fortran, Basic, a teeny bit of Java, etc.

So, give me a checklist - preferrably "free stuff" but if I have to shell out a few hundred to Microsoft to get this working, that's OK. Ideally, I'd like to code for Windows, the Q, and portable to Linux should that be the direction I go - i.e. some way to do conditional compilation ...

Thanks!

P.S. if someone wants to take me under their wing, I can pay for the services, too, like if someone is a student, "really broke", etc, and some $$ would help.

I'm also on ICQ / AIM, etc, and even Skype...

Thanks!
