GUI

Introduction

---

You should be using GUI (pronounced as "gooey"), Graphical User Interface, right? Window programming is a seperated branch of programming focusing on the GUI. Instead of using Visual Basic and the holy MFC, there are many tools that allows programmers to use their favorite programming languages like C++, Java, and even JavaScript to write GUI application that runs on multiple platforms without changing their codes. Amazing isn't it?
