Hello All,

I am new to this forum. Can anyone suggest me a informative C++ tutorial, which include information about Standalone application development using C++.

Thanks u all !!

There are several definitions of "standalone software". Which one do you mean (Link)?

Standalone application: i meant was application which can be launch on ur local machine using an exeutable file.

Okay, I think I get it. :)
Normally, all C/C++-applications are build as an executable file (on windows, they have the .exe-extension). Thus, most tutorials you find on the Internet should be suitable.

but i was looking for a turorial which specifically explains me about the application development using C++, i mean an API kind of programming which will give us a window as output of the execution.

Thanks for ur response !!

First you have to learn C/C++. After that, you can start coding programs with libraries like wxWidgets, GTK+, Qt or, if you don't need platform-independent code, the WinAPI.

EDIT: The problems is that some aspects of C/C++ are difficult. So, combining them with GUI-features makes learning troublesome for beginners. ;)

:) I have been working on C/C++, i have the basics, but never worked in developing an API using C++.

Ah, okay. So check out the libraries I mentioned in my previous post or search the Internet. Here I found a tutorial that deals with the WinAPI. I just skimmed the text, but it looks quite decent (Link).
