Integrating other technologies with c++

[flodywan]

How can I start integrating other technologies with c++? I can program in c++ fairly competently, but how can I use it to start making cool applications? All I've really made are console applications. I'd like to have GUI apps, and eventually apps that I can put onto the web.

I'd like to have GUI apps, and eventually apps that I can put onto the web.

For web-stuff most are HTML, Javascript, CSS dominated. Those are perfect fit for the web. C++ not so much I have seen. Java used to have Java applet but now gradually to be replaced by JavaFX.

So in a way you could say for web stuff C++ play a much lesser role but for GUI it has great potential. There are lots of Open Source C++ GUI SDK you can learn.

Try C sharp. C# is designed to work with Microsoft's .Net platform. Microsoft's aim is to facilitate the exchange of information and services over the Web, and to enable developers to build highly portable applications. C# is based on C++ and contains features similar to those of Java.
