Not that I'm aware of, but there will soon be a Linux version of RealBasic, which is similar, and has Windows and Mac versions already.

Or because most programs are open source, if you learn the basics - study code from other programs. If you want to make X programs, the ToolKits for KDE or GNOME might be a good start.

I haven't written any X programs in Unix.
