good GUI book?

Expand Post »
Hello,
I recently bought "An Introduction to programming with C++ (4th edition )" by Diane Zak, and i really liked the way C++ was introduced to me with concept lessons and all. When I have finished this book, and hence made my mark with basic C++, i think i shall go to GUI programming. For that, i need your opinion on a good book that teaches in the same style as Diane Zak does in this book. Do you know any?

Re: good GUI book?

WxWidgets is a user interface libary. Other similar popular libatries are Qt and GTK.

If you have got Visual C++, the visual aspect of it is handled using the .NET, MFC or Win32 libaries, which is what i reccomend learning.
