GUI Programming Language

Don't worry, I'm not going to ask that question, yet again...

I am wanting to create my own programming language, just for learning sake.

I don't want anything other than possibly a few links to head me into the right direction.

MSDN Documentation on C# that is specific to what is required to create a language would be great!

For the time being, all I am wanting to create is a very simple language that allows me to Create a Form, add a control to it, give that control a location, and maybe even some properties like a Text property, or maybe even a Color property. That's it!

Any help / advice at all is greatly appreciated!

Thank you :)

Solution

  • You want a language or some GUI libraries?

    They are a little different, you know?

    For a language you could start here:

    http://www1.idc.ac.il/tecs/plan.html

    (it's a complete course)

    or there is this:

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc136756.aspx

    This is for targetting the .net VM, so you don't have to create the VM, and it seems to be very "down to earth"
