I've found tcl/tk fairly easy to get started in. There's a shell ("wish" for
"windowing shell") where you can input code and play with the tk (GUI) libs
interactively, and there's some great tutorials as well. This really helped
me get over my experience with the Windows drag-n-drop GUI construction, and
into the Unix-ish layout-oriented method. I'll never go back.
What's better, is that the tk libs are usable in lotsa languages, e.g. C/C++,
Perl, etc. It's fairly stable under Perl -- and you simply gotta learn Perl.

Nope, ain't bad at all! I still have the BC++ 3.1 and Turbo Assembler manuals
on my shelf at work; they come in handy sometimes.

cli...? Command-line interface? Nothing wrong with that -- I perfer
keystrokes over mouseclicks any day.
