GUI (Graphical User Interface) (2)

1 Name: reilyx !.18ItdoukM : 2012-06-06 22:14 ID:5DTEO+KB [Del]

GUI or "Graphical User Interface" is a method used to allow humans to interact with the computer through windows, icons, buttons, and menus.

Now that seems pretty basic, but I have a few questions and figured that others that have an interest in coding might also wonder or be able to use.

- How difficult is it to create a basic GUI? (1)
- What languages would be preferable during creation?
- In what timeframe could a person build a GUI? (2)

(1) This would likely vary with the language and size of the GUI, but I'd still like to hear.

(2) Consider a basic GUI to do something like, say, navigate to a few boards on a forum.

And one final note before I let this thread run its course: Would any of our code-savvy members like to pitch a basic GUI code here as an example?

Apologies if there was an all-encompassing "Coding" thread, I did do a small search and found nothing. In any case, I did want this to be GUI specific for those curious as to how this awesomeness works.

GUI is typically in the language you're coding in.
Minecraft has a Java-based GUI.
Websites have HTML, HTML5, Perl, or PHP GUI.
Most programs have C, C!, C++, or C# GUI.

But I couldn't tell you how to do a GUI. Sorry.
