Newbie GUI Question

Oct 5, 2010 at 12:55pm
Hello. I have not yet started studying c++ since i am trying to collect information on it. The part i constantly fail to understand, has to do with GUI programming.

a) Does one need an IDE in order to program a GUI?
b) Is GUI programming differently approached when done for Windows, instead of a Mac, instead for a Linux OS?
c) What would you suggest for reading related to the above?

Thank you in advance.

a) No, but an IDE always helps
b) Not much if you use cross-platform libraries
c) Code::Blocks IDE + wxWidgets toolkit, so you can use the same environment on all OSs and get native-looking GUIs
