Qt vs GTK? For a beginning C++ programmer

Hello. I started learn C++ programming a little while ago. I'm definitely still a beginner, although I have a (theoretical) understanding of most of the very basic concepts (including C++ oop). I've never designed GUIs before, but would like to learn to make them for my Linux box. From what I googled, I think I need to choose between QT and GTK, as far as a place to start. I have read a few things on the web about the question, but most of the information was "which-is-truly-the-best" type discussions between advanced developers. Here are the things I'm concerned about: - open source licensing - easy of learning in a C++ environment - help resources available - stability (kind of goes along with the 'easy of learning' idea) I use kdevelop for my IDE, if that makes any difference.

Next time please start your own thread before asking a question like that. :) However, if you are just starting to learn C++, I can direct you to http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/. Also, depending on which version of Linux you are running, you can install a C/C++ development IDE such as "Kdevelop" from your repository, and this will usually also install any C++ compiler files that are needed. If you are wondering how to make GUIs in Linux with C++, then you are in the same boat as I am. However, while I was waiting for replies to this post, I looked into QT. It actually seems to be fairly easy to use: [url]http://trolltech.com/products/qt/[/url]. I made my first "hello world" program (that was inside its own GUI window) the other day, and it was really easy to compile with the help of qmake.
