I’ve been doing web programming for a few years and not really done much desktop GUI programming except for a couple very small command line things. I would like to learn more about it just for the sake of learning but I’m not really sure where to start. The two main “camps” seem to be Java and .Net but I imagine there are others as well. What’s a good language and/or framework to get started with desktop GUI programming? Any good resources you’d recommend?
Creating GUI applications in Visual Studio using C# isn’t very hard to learn. Of course, these applications would only run on Windows machines. If you want something that works cross-platform, try GTK+ as Henrik suggested or Java Swing.
