1If you're a beginner do you want to worry about cross-platform? – Rup Mar 09 '11 at 15:36

4I'd think it was a great time to worry about cross-platform! Before you get too familiar with MFC! – Nick Mar 09 '11 at 15:37

@Rup: Do you know any GUI library for C++ which is easier to use than Qt but is not cross-platform? I don't – Armen Tsirunyan Mar 09 '11 at 15:37

1@Armen: For beginners, MFC is far easier than Qt. Qt doesn't surpass MFC in ease of use until you start doing more intermediate to advanced GUI work. – Zac Howland Mar 09 '11 at 15:40

@Armen: I know, I know. I hate to admit it, too. But you have to give Microsoft some credit: the wizards make basic UI's (which is what beginners would be doing) a cakewalk. You actually have to understand some of the code to get Qt up and running. – Zac Howland Mar 09 '11 at 15:46

@Zac: If you said that about .NET, I would totally agree. It's the best and easiest to use GUI library imho. But MFC... I mean, all those binding macros make me sick :) – Armen Tsirunyan Mar 09 '11 at 15:51

You should try out Qt. It's really nice and it has a lot of features, and it's cross platform.
And here is some tutorials for it.
