Hi,
I am planning to weite some programms that runs on linux but I don’t know anything about what languages are availables.
What I want is a language that:
All suggestions are welcome!
As well, I’ll need you to tell me when I can found that language you recomend
best regards,

Nearly every language you can imagine is available for linux and most of
them have bindings for graphics libraries or inbuild graphic libraries.
So it reduces the question to the following:
With which programming language(s) are you familiar, which do you know,
which do you use now?
Choose one of them and you can be sure it also exists on linux or at least
something very similar.
An additional question:
Do you have programming experience or are you a beginner who wants to learn
programming?
Take a look at python it is interactive and has a clear syntax, this will
help learning it, it is also good for graphics and gui programming. There
are good tutorials available for it and good documentation.
Hi
I am an analyst programmer graduated in 1997 and have deveopment experience for more than 10 years.
The languages I used more until a few years was:
PowerBuilder (from version 5 to 9)
Cobol (that is no t graphic but it still used in a very important programs used by visa and master card). This is non graphic… so I don’t want itç.
C over Unix Hp (non-graphinc)
And I have coursed (and pass the examination) a course of GeneXus, that works on windows… And don’t think there is a version for linux.
One thing you have to think is, that I began studies in 1990 and my career in 1993. There were not graphics in that year, windows 95 didn’t exist (only windows 3, 0r 3.11 under D.O.S.)
I am 35 years old, and began compuer studies when I I was 15.
So… resuming: Visual experience in a language: PowerBuilder only. I can program in Genexus, because I got it fresh in my mind, but as I said before, I don’t think there is a GeneXus for linux.
And… no other language.
Maybe if you suggest me a one or two or the best, under linux, I can learn it (or them) reading the tutorials.
Thanks for your answers, and for future answers 
Ok, so what I misunderstood is your item
Since I am still not sure (I do not know GeneXus just googled it) what I see
is that it seems to be a gui based integrated development environment (am I
wrong?).
If you are looking for a good professional IDE in combination with a
powerful language with good gui and database support you should consider
java and the eclipse ide.
The benefit is all what you learn by diving into java and eclipse is
platform independent.
I develop now for about 5 1/2 years with this combination in my job (and
have also more than two and a half decades of programming experience, first
exposure to programming in school was in 1981 and had to deal over the time
with many languages) so that I can say this is a really sophisticated
combination (esp. if you use some of the plugins for eclipse which support
UML and database design).
Java syntax has not that much a steep learning curve, it is more the big
standard libraries which need time to learn what is there and how to use
it). A good online book is “Thinking in Java” by Bruce Eckel.
As a language I have to say I don’t like java that much (coming from a C++
background with programming in C++ ten years before I had to use java and I
also did not like C++ that much, these languages I had to use for my job not
for my pleasure).
Programming languages I really like are the LISP family (common lisp, scheme
and clojure) and Fortran 95/2003 and high level interpreters like Octave/Gnu
R. But these are not made with any gui or ide in mind. And I also like
python.
For professional purposes do not underestimate python (although I
recommended it also as a beginners programming language) it is clear and
powerful and has a good IDE named eric4 and has bindings to various gui
libraries (wxwidgets, qt, …).
One language I never really used (but played with it) is C# and the
monodevelop IDE. If .net programming is an option for you take a look at it.
(I decided it is not for me, but maybe it is for you).
Btw GeneXus seems to support linux

Hi
There is also codeblocks and upp (which I initially built, but has been
picked up by the education/devel:ide people)

Just curious:
From the documentation it seems both of them are especially for C++? Or do
they support also other languages (I could not find info about that)?
Hi
C/C++ AFAIK, I guess some one may have build plugins (I don’t use it
much as I’m not a programmer, stick to packaging stuff ) upp was
built at the request of another user.

GeneXus is a code generator and database creation. It based on transactions and rules. It’s an Uruguayan tool, and I’m sure there is no version for linux. (I take the course, here in Uruguay)
I think I’ll choose for some web programming language such as php, or else.
I give up looking for a program language for coding.
thanks anyway

From what I’ve unstood of GeneXus is that it seems to be an IDE.
And your graphical part is probably from it being able to design class diagrams and such?
Probably eclipse + java is your best option then. There are tons of plugins available for eclipse for UML diagrams, class diagrams and what not.
If you’re sticking to PHP try eclipse + aptana studio plugin + aptana studios PHP plugin (plugins for plugins, what’s becoming of this world!?).
For graphical database design I’ve recently found Power Architect.

Just as an additional side note:
database design is also possible with eclipse
http://www.eclipse-plugins.info/eclipse/plugins.jsp?category=Database
(And just to be complete: If also commercial plugins are considered look for
example on MyEclipse and Omondo (we use it at work therefor I know them) and
other related tools.)
From the open source perspective “Power Architect” looks really interesting.
