How to use JAVA or C++ for software development?

Question

I want to develop my first software for Windows OS and I know JAVA and C++ both.

Answer 1

why we have to learn WinAPI / QT.... etc for development

Answer 2

What's exact problem? Download IDE (I prefer Eclipse CDT for cpp), learn WinAPI /Qt/ OpenGL / DirectX / anything else, decide what you want to develop and how it should look like and start coding.

Answer 3

WinAPI gives you an interface for interacting with Windows OS. In case if you want GUI in your app, some OS specific things then you need to use such API. The frameworks like Qt do this for you and for multiple OSes then you can use Qt wrapper interfaces and write the same code under different OSes. Your app always will be used system functions under wrappers that you don't see using the libraries.
