Hi all,
With some experience in Java swing, I want to write same kind

require less memory , will be faster? I am completely new to GUI
development in C++.I know programming in c++ but not GUI interfacing
programming.I googled and understood QT, GTK, wxWidgets can be used
for GUI development. I do not know the differences between KDE and
GNome and other XWindows libraries,etc.I do not know why XWindows is
a employing Client-server like model .I really could not understand
why so much of complexity in GUI programming that are not there in
Java Swing.

Thanks in advance.

hi.
i think you better to try qt, cuz it has more clear and more
structured documentation and api reference. and it easier to find what
you really need than in gtk documentation.
and btw: if you prefer c++, forgot about poor gtk, it has c api, use
gtk--(aka gtkmm) which has native c++ api.

I do not know why XWindows is
a employing Client-server like model

for remote connection from one x to another. it's quite useful.

I really could not understand
why so much of complexity in GUI programming that are not there in
Java Swing.

i think that all gui should be written in simple high level languages
as python or java. using c or c++ for gui isn't the best idea,
especially if you havn't much time.
