Just wondering what a good place to start would be? The program I eventually hope to make is a calculator for a windows operating system (School project)

Provided that you have good command of C++, Qt can be a good cross-platform starting point.
Depening on the platform, you may choose to try native OS UI framework; MFC is Microsoft-only and somewhat confusing.
My money is on Qt.

I intend to use OpenCV for a project in which I've already built the server in Go. However, OpenCV doesn't have a Go API, so what's the best solution? Call a c++ program with .exec, use swig, find another library to do computer vision?
Thanks.
Edit: I want to maximize performance, and I'm ok with C++.
SWIG is certainly a viable option.
You can also search for a Go binding to OpenCV. For example: https://github.com/lazywei/go-opencv

I'm trying to write text-based gui. Is there a way to access terminal per pixel using pure C++? I read a one method, but it was SDL based ;[
Not sure what you imply by "Pure C++", but ncurses is the go-to library for CLI applications (and there is a port for Windows called pdcurses )

Question is the title.
I'm sorry, I suppose I need to specify.
I'm not sure what commands or what code to use to actually link wget to a gui.
I have two weeks until classes start and I just want to Create something.
Maybe here and here. There are numerous widget toolkits for C++.
Since wget is not a HTTP library, but an application, calling this using system() or similar calls is disrecommended.
I advise you to use a HTTP C/C++ library.

I want to create an Application which also needs a lot of GUI stuff. I started with WPF and immediately found its limits, for example with the tweaking of a DataGrid... (actually not a limit, but needs a lot of effort...)
The application will also include self-made diagrams like a Gantt-diagram (at least similar to a Gantt-diagram).
Now I've read a little bit about Qt and also made some simple forms. I also know that nearly everything is possible with Qt (like an interactive Gantt-diagram). But the main question is, which one is easier (less effort) for creating non-standard UI-elements. WPF or Qt?

Is it possible to create the low-level grapics API (similar to OpenGL)? [closed]

Is that possible to create a low level framework similar to OpenGL?
What do you need to building such API?
No, implementing something like OpenGL is not possible. Since the time OpenGL has decended from the heavens complete, writing something like it was forbidden by all common religions.
But really, what you'll actually need is about 21 years of work, a few thousands of developers and broad support from all industry leaders, so yea, piece of cake.
Or actually, all you need is just a notepad and a pencil, writing is easy!
