What can I use C++ for, and how. I want to make software, but I cannot make a proper gui, because of its gui capabilities. Just what is C++ used for?
Sorry for sounding rude.
C++ is for making software. You can use it to make GUIs, but if you've never done anything in C++ before then you may want to try something else first if you are in a rush. It can be rather difficult for beginners.
Check out Qt by Nokia which gives you a nice GUI for creating GUIs.
Otherwise, you can try using visual basic. The visual studio application has a nice little tool for making GUIs which you can use with Visual basic easily.
