GUI development isn't hard, and I wouldn't bother using C++. Too cumbersome (library wise). Straight C works fine. If you want to write a GUI, you should learn how they actually work. I've done this many times in many environments.
Before you design a GUI, you need to determine screen-size, and color depth. If you don't know what that means, you have a lot of learning, and need to study how computers manage RGB bit maps, pix maps, and color spaces (color look up tables, etc). A GUI can be memory intensive for screen management, depending on how robust you want to make it (clipping regions, update regions, etc).
