juce: 跨平台的C++用户界面库
如果你用过QT和MFC，那你必然知道QT是基于C++的跨平台库，而MFC是微软针对widows平台推出来基础类库。且不论MFC的设计如何，从我个人和身边朋友的经历来看，MFC是一些非常难以理解的类的组合，其设计模式和各式各样不知所谓的宏都让人十分费解。相比之下，QT在这方面要好很多。哈哈，你以为我会介绍QT吧？错了，ＱT大家都都很熟悉了。在这里给大家推荐的是 juce，一个跨平台的C++用户界面库。

据说当初主要是在音频处理领域用得比较多，因此包含了比较多的音频相关代码。后来推广到各个领域，如图形图像，GUI等。
个人感觉，Juce的设计思想与android的基础类库思想比较接近。因此，如果你会android编程，那juce用起来就会似曾相识，比如两者都采用多继承等。相比之一，juce的代码看起来更为简洁。同时juce创建的用户界面也比较简洁美观。下面给出一个例子说明。
程序启动后的样子:
外观样式默认是mac风格的。在这里添加几行代码，实现一个简单的交互，在按下按钮后提示按钮已按下：
整个程序的代码如下：

整个演示程序只需以上的代码，比起MFC来够简洁了吧！ 另外，你也许注意到了，以上的代码大部分是自动生成的。的确，juce提供了一个自动创建项目的小程序，叫做introjucer，在你下载的juce包里，用vs编译一下即可用。
对了，juce的下载地址是：https://github.com/julianstorer/JUCE，文档地址：http://www.juce.com/documentation
上面的文档事实上不太利于理解juce，建议看这个：
