where does one start with GUI programming?

Hi,

I want to make a gui for some of the programs and scripts that I've written.

I've taken a class for c++ programming, another for java programming, and I know a bit of bash.

I want to understand how everything works, so I don't want to use an IDE.

Would someone tell me what to use? Would someone point me to some 'hello world'-sort of tutorials?

I use fluxbox and would prefer to make GUIs that are not too gnome-ish or kde-ish.

Thanks

you may want to take a look at http://www.wxwindows.org/

Kdevelop should have some wizards for applications using these libraries if I'm not wrong.

I also love Qt (lots of documentation, and well integrated in kdevelop). KDE is based on that, but you said you wouldn't want something too kdeish

well, due to your advice, I'm using kdevelop now. I've made hello world. The qt interface really isn't too kde-ish (Now that I'm re-reading my first post, I feel like a snob for writing it that way). All of the buttons and dialogs fit in really well with fluxbox.

I'm sold.
