how to creating gui applications in linux?

Hi, Im fairly new to linux and ive noticed that this OS has a lot of small applications which have been created for the X windows environment.  I do not know what they are called (for enlightenment, it is epplets??).  Can someone refer me to a website or maybe a few books which has more information and how to create these applications (im not sure if that is the correct word to use). thanks

ah just what ive been looking for, btw i thought applets was the term used for java gui apps
well, thanks for the points, but you could have left the question open & maybe gotten more feedback from others.

I believe that 'applets' in Linux desktop speak refers specifically to programs which 'dock' to the toolbar (clocks, e-mail checkers, free memory displays, etc).

Most of what I gave was for general application developemnt.  If you really want to develop only applets, best check out the Gnome & Kde home pages & follow the developer links.

Please let me know if I can be of any more help.
