    Unhappy Linux Coding Help

    Hello,

    I am new to the whole Linux Programming in C, and I need some help.

    I am assigned to take a program that is already coded.

    The Tasks are:

    To create a GUI interface with sliders and knobs to adjust parameters and send data between the computer and device using Sockets.

    I'm not sure which GUI interface should I start with and I don't know whats the best way to transfer data files via socket.

    What I'm thinking is to have the GUI Interface create a DataParameter.ini file and having it sent through the client/server and having the client pick this file up and run it without recompiling all the time.

    I can create an array input data on the client side to take these specific values such as Angles, and Pressure and such so that part is not bad...

    I am really confused and if anyone can help me start It will be extremely helpful

    Like which GUI should I use and socket tutorial sending files?
    Thanks!

    If it's for linux, you might as well use GTK:

    GTK+ 2.0 Tutorial

    Sockets:

    The GNU C Library
    C programming resources:
    GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
    The C Book -- nice online learner guide
    Current ISO draft standard
    CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
    3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
    cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge
