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.
