ncurses based nm-applet clone

silly · 2012-07-12 11:38:35

Hey, I decided to write a ncurses based nm-applet clone, replacing the gtk3 dependencies and more importantly making it run without x11.

I'm aware that this is no tiny task and rather a long term project, and there are other tools for network managing in the terminal. The point is, I want to learn how to do this, and also contribute something that is imho useful to the AUR
But I have not done something like this before (only a little c and python experience so far) so i'd be grateful for *any* input on how to get things started, including recommendations on tutorials, code that does something similar, useful tools for code management, workflow, etc..
(basically what steps you would take, if you were me [= without experience])

everything much appreciated, thank you!

i recomend kdevelop IDE, is very good to c programming, and make gdb your friend
