Hello!
I’m new to this forum and in need of some advice.
I have learned the basics of java in the school as I’m studying
computer science. I would rather learn C++ though.
You can create windows applications, games, Linux applications, its
faster, more power etc.
And you get a nice .exe file when you compile in windows. (Which java
lacks)
I have already started to read an C++ book and I’m half way through,
but when it comes to GUI applications I have some
questions I would like to clear out.
As I understand it C++ doesn’t provide a GUI library. But then we have
Windows API and Visualc++. So my questions are.
Windows API and VisualC++ they don't seem to be using the same
library? Windows API is it too old to be using today?
I know that in VisualC++ you can just copy and paste in the design
mode to get a button but in WinAPI its lines of code.
And another problem is that many C++ books don't even mention the GUI.
Don't even know if there are books about it.
Are there more libraries that one should be aware of?
In other hand C++ is an "old" language compared to java, C#, VB but
it’s still is the most powerful one (my opinion).
Thanks in advance
