I’ve been doing web development for about six years now, and somehow have entirely avoided ever developing a desktop application.
I am considering writing a desktop application (I’m thinking something similar to a Word clone) on Linux but have no idea where to start. I hear of Qt and GTK+, but I’m curious if there are any frameworks that are similar to web development. Language isn’t a problem, as long as it isn’t Java.
GTK+ and QT are GUI frameworks. They use xlib under the hood and encapsulate the nuances of xlib and provide you with an easier interface.
For rapid development you can use GLADE and quickly build GUI applications in C/C++.
