should i learn GUI?

[kam hagh]

hi,

i wanted to learn GUI but my firend said when you become a programmer you will design core of Program and then someone else other programmers will design the GUI parts !

so, should i keep learning console programming and get good at it (currently reading thinking in c++) or i need to know GUI too for future?!
im only 15 years old now and trying to learn programming :(

GUI is totally different from console programming, also it depends on the OS and its not so simple.I believe you should stick to console programming for now.

You should learn C++ and then get a look on popular GUI libraries. They wraps all platform depended stuff suggesting you unifonm interface.

when you become a programmer you will design core of Program and then someone else other programmers will design the GUI parts !

That depends. Usually it will be like that only in very large companies. And in either case, you will nedd GUI for your own internal application, quick mock-ups to know how it will work and other.
So, when you get better at C++, get familiar with popular libraries (not only GUI)

Yes, yes, yes. And most of the time, those GUI parts would not be written in C++ (even if there is no other programmer, and you are writing the GUI yourself).

Thanks, but now i have some more questions :
How should i know if im good enought at console??!

When i am, how should i combine them? And what libraries do you recommend me , i want to programm gui for windows but after that for linux ,

I think i need to know GUI probably, but need a little on where and what to start!

I heard Qt is slow , my cousin tols me if you write core in c++ and only GUI in qml it wont be :o
