I want to start GUI programming. First of all, I know C/C++. I have no background in developing a GUI Application.

I searched a bit of GUI development. I came across GTK+ and QT. I am confused on what to choose between the two.

I basically want that my application:

i) runs on LINUX on both Gnome and KDE. I know that GTK+ is basically for Gnome and QT for KDE. But then also i would like you to comment on that.
ii) It should also run on Windows, if possible. But, my preference is LINUX only.

So, as i dont have any background of any kind of GUI programming. I would like you to help me in deciding on what to choose.

It will be great if you also tell me about very good resources for absolute beginners. Any e-book link will be greatly appreciated.

Pls give your suggestions.

FLTK is good for GUI programming starters both for Windows and Linux. You can get some basic idea from this book

Qt would be a nice choice; there's a nice independent tutorial (it also has links to the official tutorials and more).

kind regards,
