Cross-Platform GUI Framework
Posted: Sat Nov 15, 2008 7:58 am
Hello Gentle(wo)men,
I have been looking at various cross-platform GUI frameworks, such as Trolltech's "QT" and wxWidgets, and I am having trouble deciding which one you find to be the most advantageous? I have already learned the basics of C++ (functions, arrays, etc. I've even dabbled a bit in Object-Oriented.) and I'm looking to expand my repertoire to include GUI programming. I am not what you would call a "fan" of Windows, but that doesn't mean I don't recognize its massive market share, and the importance of developing software for it in the career of a developer. However, I do not want to develop solely for Windows, for Linux and OS X are gaining quite a bit of ground as well. For these reasons, I would like to develop an application once, and have it distributed amongst Windows, Linux, BSD, and OS X with native speed and functionality. I am looking for your recommendations for cross-platform GUI frameworks.
Thank you,
Arc
