Does anyone know of any good tutorials for GUI programming for C++? I am somewhat of a beginner/novice programmer. I know OOP and all the basics.
What OS ?
If you want a platform independant solution there are loads, google "qt", "gtk", and "wxwidgets".
Or, for Windows I recommend The Forgers Tutorial. And, along with that, I strongly recommend that you get a copy of Programming Windows, by Charles Petzold.
And actually, I would recommend (not quite so strongly ;) ) learning Windows GUI programming before learning one of the more-portable libraries. This is not because Windows is the easiest, but because there are probably 10 times as many resources for learning Windows as all the other GUI libraries combined.
You don't have to be an expert. You need to understand functions, pointers, typedef, etc. However, there's a lot to learn with GUI... you can easily get bogged-down and forget to continue learning standard C++.Quote:

I thought I had a pretty good understanding of C++ when I first opened Petzold... I was shocked to see that Hello Windows was almost two pages of code, and none of it looked like the C++ I'd studied!!!!
I am using XP Pro and thanks for the tutorials.
