Now that I learned C++ on sololearn, how do I create software with GUI in C++?

Question

If you are done with sololearn C++, congratulation.
Now how do you build software with nice Graphic User Interface (GUI) with what you now know in C++?

My answer is Qt framework. Do you know Qt?
Or, if no, do you know Mozilla Firefox, VLC, Google Earth soft?
These softwares are built with Qt.
Qt/C++ is an awesome framework, well documented and with powerful concepts. It is cross platform available for windows, Linux, Mac and others.
You can even build Android app in Qt/C++…
It open source.
Just google Qt!

Answer 1

@Francisco, there's Qt the framework, and Qt the IDE. The framework was made before the IDE existed. Both were made by the same developpers.

Answer 2

Yeah it is great, but I don't use it. I prefer MFC for Windows apps with GUI or Win32 for speed in game engines. Not seriously considering other platforms.

Answer 3

I think you should now opt for C# or Java to do GUI. C++ will require a lot more work and the two mentioned has quiet a bit of work done for you...

Answer 4

In case you have an macOS I vividly recommend you Xcode. The intellisense is excellent and it help you to code faster and easier. Linux and Windows I would choose QT or CodeBlocks
