libhw

Overview

Have you ever wanted to create a web-based application, only to realize that you are just a mear C++ programmer. You then realize that you need to learn HTML, XML and Javascript. Plus you need to learn another language like Java, Perl or PHP to do anything useful. After that, you need to figure out how to install and setup Apache and Tomcat. Then you have to find all of the dependencies and thousands of libraries and JAR files. Three months later, you still have not written a line of code and finally give up.

You ask yourself, "Why can't I just write an application just like I always do for the desktop with a standard widget kit like Gtk, Motif or MFC?". Well now you can!

libhw aims to provide a simple and efficient web development widget set for C++ developers.
