There are many many GUI frameworks, so this question has hundreds of possible answers.

If you are developing on Windows you have the choice of many frameworks including:

• Straight Win32 API
• MFC
• Qt
• WinForms (.Net)
• WPF (.Net)
• Silverlight (.Net)

Depending on what you want to do, and on which platform you will have to select a platform/framework. Once you select a platform/framework you can get a tutorial or buy a book.
