        System.out.println("Hello World!"); // Display the string.
    }

Very Happy Tmxxine Photon is designed for programmers

Specifically I have a friend who is doing some Java courses
and is running Netlogo for an AI course

I am hoping this will provide the impetus to use a Linux Solution
The Java SDK is large

and so I would recommend 512MB to run this Beta
I am interested in a jar based Java IDE
Any favourites?

C and C++ are suitable for Puppy programming
Java is rather large
There are smaller run times
and some puplet versions such as Teenpup include java

Netlogo is a specialised version of Logo (a Lisp based programming
language widely used in education)
It is famous for using and controlling robot or virtual turtles

Python is a widely used and easy to learn language

In order to ensure as stable an environment as possible
I used the Puppy 3.01 retro as a base
and did not install ezpup or even modify JWM themes
I have included Firefox Beta 3
But Mozilla Seamonkey is the default browser and
runs the Photon web page

Wiki
http://tmxxine.com/wik/wikka.php?wakka=LinuxTmxxinePhoton

I have not included GTKBasic, MurgaLua
and other languages because they are easily installed with .pets

Smile

Very nice, Lobster. "Photon" rhymes with "Python" - I like that. Smile

Which gcc is it, the one used with 3.01, or the 2.16 devx?

Maybe your friend can help you, too, extract the kiddie programming tools from here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=24424

Lobster,

I haven't used it myself, but when I was going to do a java subject, a year ago, I was griping that I didn't have tha RAM to use NetBeans as the IDE, and someone suggested I try:

I will move this Python tutorial I started some time ago (sorry about the ads - so called free hosting)
http://peace.wikia.com/wiki/Python
Any language inspired by Monty Python must be good . . .

Long term tmxxine will be a base for ASQ
