I am taking software engineering classes at my university. I just took data structures and i am almost done taking design patterns. With the design patterns class the instructor let us choose what Language to use and what IDE to use on our labs. Since, i know C++ mostly i used that. Most of the class used c# and some used java..

Well, i just signed up for GUI programming spring term, and its the same teacher, and he said we can use whatever we like. Since, i have never really used C# i might be better of using c++? I have looked into using QT4 but i dont know how hard it is, and how much helps really out there? Since, there wont be much lecturing..

I am considering using C# since i have taken classes in VB.NET and have used winforms quite a bit. However, i would love to use C++ what are your thoughts? Is c++ gui something i might use in the future in the real world? or am i better off trying to learn C# I would love to stick with C++ in my career path though..

I dont want to be stuck learning C# and GUI at the same time either. Is QT4 a good way to go?

For GUI programming you could go for Visual C++.

It's hard to code everything in VC++ so people go for MFC. MFC provides 100s of classes that make life much easier. So all you need to do is learn the basics of VC++ and learn MFC.
