procedural C++ GUI apps ??

[Mr Mr]

The book I'm reading right now emphasizes the procedural side of C++ in the first 9 chapters — the rest of the book after that (chap. 10+) emphasizes the OOP side of C++.

I'd like to be able to make some useful GUI programs when I finish the procedural part of the book.

Generally, will this be possible and feasible?

Are there any Operating System APIs that I could use to develop some GUI apps using the procedural side of C++ ?

There are libraries for GUI like Qt but you have to learn to use them separately.

Qt and many of the other GUI frameworks are OOP, that paradigm seems to suit GUI well. There are C style GUI like Win32, but IMO you would be better of with Qt or sfml, but is only my opinion :+)

Be careful that learning "procedural" C++ doesn't descend into C style programming.

C++ is a multi paradigm language : C programming ; STL (Standard Template Library - using the containers like std::vector et al. and algorithms like sorting etc) ; OOP C++ with classes and polymorphism etc ; template programming ; Template Meta Programming (TMP).
