I have asked a couple friends in IRC the same question but thought I would ask here too. I want to explore programming. I own only Next Gen Amigas. X5000 is my main system. Looking for a programming language and software kit that is easy to buy if still a valid product, or download if now public domain, but need to make sure it is well documented for a beginner.
Would like that the language is more english as that makes it easier for me to understand. Want it to have a software kit that has all I need to get started. A nice IDE would be nice.
Also, since I last programmed on a Mac like in 2005 using Applescript and XCode, I wonder if there is something in Amigaland that allows for easy way to create the user interface for an application I may make, kind of drag and drop and then tell the button what to do... kinda like Xcode suite allowed me to do.
Ultimately being able to make a very basic game, say a scrolling game or a small shoot M up, would be neat.
I know there is Python, Hollywood, and others.
Guessing Hollywood may be the easiest most complete way to start since it is still a current selling product, but open to other options.
Thanks
TJ
