win32 and c++

[PRW56]

I have virtually no knowledge of anything involving GUI and C++, but I know that Win32 programming is... well it has to do with making GUI using c++, but a lot of the time when I see a tutorial for something involving Win32 it is written in C++ and C or just C. So whats the deal with that? should i learn C before going into GUIs or is there a good tutorial for a just C++ made GUI?

Win32 programming is using libraries provided with Windows. Those libraries are written in C and C++. Win32 programming is not some separate language.

C++ is very nearly a superset of C. Learning C++ will cover C as well. Learn C++ if you want to do Win32 programming.

Here is some perspective on the issue, as well as some tutorial material ...
