Console vs Win32

[xander333]

Hello all,

I'm now learning C++ in console, but once i get the hang of it, i'd like to move one to Win32. My question is: Is it a big difference from console? And, with the pure console C++, can you make apps out of console?

Thanks in advance,

Xander

You can make apps in Console, but they will lack the GUI (they will be in the Command Prompt Window). Win32 is more complex but allows the design of GUI's, which include buttons, input, sounds, images and windows.

If you learn programming very well in console. Win32 will be peace of cake. You will just learn some new concepts like event handling and handles (although you can practice them in console too).
