I'm looking for recommendations for good programming books covering GUI/windows/event programming. All of my programming experience is script and web based, and I have almost no clue on how to go about creating a windowing based application. I'd prefer a language nuetral approach, but am capable of following just about any language.
Don't let the title scare you. It's definitely the book you want.
From a Perl perspective there isn't much else in terms of cross-platform GUI libraries. Heck, there isn't anything in print that I know of with regards to Perl and other graphical toolkits.
The only other graphical toolkits I know of that have a Perl wrapper out there are GTK (unix only) and wxWindows. There's probably something out there for QT and FOX as well, but I haven't seen it.
Many don't like the look and feel of Tk. It's definitely not the slickest looking thing, but it works, it's easy, and it's very portable. There's also a dedicated newsgroup (comp.lang.perl.tk).

There's also Win32::GUI, if portability isn't a requirement.
