Unfortunately, no, or at least I don't know any such resource. You will have to read about the different toolkits yourself, and then decide which of them to use, depending on how well the toolkit fits you. Personally, I will suggest you to read about these toolkits: wxWidgets, Qt, JUCE and GTK+. All of them are major toolkits, have big userdatabases, great resources, and of course, great functionality. If you're interested in other alternatives, than those I've mentioned, you can find a big list of toolkits on Wikipedia.

Most of them will probably come with some sort of readme, documentation, and even example code to get you started. If one of the toolkits doesn't come with this stuff; don't worry. You'll usually be able to find a lot of information on the internet, and there's usually more information on the internet than in the packages the toolkits arrive in, so even though some of them may come with material to get you started, I'll suggest you to check the internet for resources too.
