However, I have no idea what I could do next. It is impossible that I
always program with command console from now on.
Could anyone give me some advices? Thank you very much!
Andrew:
The C syntax is the basis of C++, C++/CLI, C#, Java, Javascript (and others), so it is a good foundation.
What you do now depends on what you want to do. What I did at this point was attack C++ in a console application environment before moving on to GUI work with MFC, but that was about 10 years ago.
Today, going to C# would surely be a viable alternative.
One great thing about C++ is that it is portable to other platforms (though MFC is a Windows-only GUI platform). There is also WTL, which is also Windows-specific, but better designed from a C++ purist point of view.
There are cross-platform C++ GUI libraries (QT, wxwidgets...), but I have never used them.
