Programming With Puppy

Shell Scripting Languages are not compiled and are a subset of Interpreted Languages. They are used throughout puppy for many tasks. (examples Bash, Ash)
Shell Scripting - Puppy makes intensive usage of the scripting capabilities of the bash-shell.

Getting Started Actually Programming in Puppy

If you want to program in C then you will need devx_214.sfs (if you are using Puppy2.14)

Contributing to Puppy

Currently there is no formalized method to contribute code to Puppy. If you want to contribute code just make a post on the forum.
If you would like to help find bugs in Puppy, there is a Mantis bug tracker for Puppy. It is currently only semi-official to the best of my knowledge.

So what is a programming langauage anyway?

Different Types of Languages

The code that a computer executes is binary, 0's and 1's. Humans have great difficulty creating such code directly so we use programming languages to create the binary code.
C and C++ are the core languages used for writing Linux itself.
  • Shell Scripting (Bash/ash) - Puppy uses the bash-shell for a lot of its scripting needs.

    It has no graphical API, but you can use "dialog" in several versions, which is a set of pre-defined windows like a input-box.
    Puppy also has more and more tools written in Puppybasic, which uses the same approach.
    It is a Basicdialect, that MU enhanced with some new functions (based on wxBasic).

    ~- PuppyBasic - also called WxBasicscript is a modified (and smaller) version of wxBasic with new functions for the Linux platform. PuppyBasic was written by Mark Ulrich

    Puppy has a few built-in, and more can be added

    Overview of Languages included in Puppy


    Main Types of Languages


    The code that a computer executes is binary, 0's and 1's. Humans have great difficulty creating such code directly.
    Assembler is a symbolic language humans use to represent each computer instruction, one at a time, which is translated into binary code.
    Macro Assembler uses more powerful constructions that can generate multiple machine instructions from one line of code.
    Interpreters are high-level languages that are translated and executed line-by-line. This is a quick way to develop a program, but the execution is not as efficient. (examples are Java, Ruby, and Python)
    Compilers are high-level languages that are translated into computer code for later execution. (examples are C, C++, Fortran, BASIC) Compiling Help
    The development process may be slower and more tedious, but this maximizes execution speed.
    Shell Scripting Languages are not compiled and are a subset of Interpreted Languages. They are used throughout puppy for many tasks. (examples Bash, Ash)

    C and C++ are the core languages used for writing Linux itself.

    IDEs: (Integrated Development Environments)
    KDE has Kdevelop
    http://www.kdevelop.org/∞
    Unfortunately, KDE is quite huge, so not by default in Puppy.
    This might be a good alternative (no package yet):
    http://women.kde.org/articles/tutorials/kdevelop3/∞
    Qt Designer can use QT without the additional KDE libraries.
    KDE is a desktop based on QT, but also requiring additional libraries.
    An example for a QT application without KDE libraries is the webbrowser Opera.

    A "classic" way to write programs for Puppy would be C / Gtk.
    Tutorials see http://gtk.org∞
    There also is a "visual" tool:
    http://glade.gnome.org/∞
    But we have no package for Puppy yet, as most of the programs made for Puppy are based on dialogs/scripts.
    Also Glade might require a full Gnome installation (not sure though), while Puppy only uses the smaller Gtk subset.
    Gnome is a desktop based on the Gtk libraries and many additional Gnome-libraries.
    We only have a testversion of Gnome, it is too bloated to be seriously maintained by us.

    http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=9077&highlight=mingw∞

    for a gui designer for tcl there's visual tcl:
    http://vtcl.sourceforge.net/∞

    Languages IN Puppy:
    Linux Script (similar to MS Dos batch files - ash and bash) Widely used by GuestToo and Barry
    TclTk - LearnTclTk
    Tcl/tk (pronounced tickle and very powerful and mature)
    XUL - built into Mozilla, may have potential for Puppy.
