Hi Zoe,
as a programmer myself, I'd recommend that you look at Qt or wxWidgets
for the GUI stuff - I'd also recommend that you look at the Cygwin tools
(http://www.cygwin.com/). These are a port of the Linux/Unix tools that
run on Windows using a DLL library to provide the Linux facilities that
Windows lacks.
Cygwin also allows you to set up an X/Windows server with GNOME or KDE
so you can have a Linux development platform on your Windows system and
you can write your program for both systems using the same tools (note
that the options you need will be different) with very little
modification required to port it from one system to the other.
It's best to download Cygwin with a broadband link - you can do it with
dial-up (I'm doing this myself at the moment), but it takes longer,
especially if your internet provider puts a time limit on your sessions
:-( .
