IMHO I'd start with Java so it would be somewhat desktop independent. However it depends what kind of performance you seek. Java is C++-- and the graphics widgets are easy to use. You could link-in your C/C++ code using JNI. OK I feel a flame war brewing....
Java is highly portable, but actually Qt (or GTK/<fill out your fav. toolkit here> for that matter) is too, as long as you're not using system-specific calls. I have bought the book "Programming with Qt" from O'Reilly about two years ago, but it's quite disappointing, since it's covers no areas Trolltech's tutorials don't. The docs have been quite satisfying for me, so far.
Very true indeed. Qt is truly platform independant as long as you stick with Qt. And since they have all classes one could want, it's no problem. My ~3k line Qt application compiled out of the box on Linux, Win32 and MacOS X. -- Mads Martin Jørgensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A.
