Coding for GUI different??

Hi there, I started learning C++ a while back. I was just wondering if coding C++ using for a program with a GUI will be different. If so, is it a must to start with a Command Line Interface??

It is different, yes. I can only say about windows programming, though. I have no experience in *nix systems.

Console applications are good to do some testing of codes, but it really comes down to what you want/need. The console is useful for tools like the OS tools such as ping, tracert, diskpart, etc. Surely enough they could have GUI's, but most people find them more useful as console apps, especially for scripting.
