Re: [Dev-C++] Hello to the group and reference material

Just a note wx-windows is since sometime called wxWidgets
(http://www.wxwidgets.org/) and I highly recommend it. Learning the native
Win32 interface isn't so good since it takes quite a lot of work to make
anything and besides, M$ are deprecating it and moving over to their .Net
environment.

I definitely agree with Reid - select a multiplatform toolkit. The
movement of M$ to .Net might result in a significant loss of M$ market
penetration.
