    Advice Needed for Program

    Hey all. I'm a newbie to linux and am wanting to start developing software for it but am not totally sure what language to use. The program I'm wanting to write will need to run in the background and capture mouse clicks and movement in the X enviroment. Does anyone know what language would be best for this? C++ or something similar?

    I've got experience with other high level languages as well as several scripting languages.

    Thanks in advance.

    John

    "Best" is one of the terms that people are going to disagree on

    But you could do it in Python with the Xlib. Even if you don't know Python it should be easy enough to pick it up quickly.
