What Are The Basics To Creating A Linux Application?
Q. I am an advanced web-programmer (learned basic C++, very comfortable with OOP, etc) but I have no experience in developing full-fledged standalone applications, especially in Linux.
I am very interested in contributing to the community but not sure how to apply my programming/design knowledge to Linux. What are some good resources to learn/tips?
Thanks!

Try code project, they are a great resource. Also look at the Mono project. It will allow you to write C# apps for linux.
Linux is a collection of applications. You would need to know how to create the config, makefiles, libraries. You would also need to have the source ready. Gnome and KDE have environments which allow you to make an app for that desktop.
Languages: C, lisp, perl, python
