My recommendation is to first learn the language, and then learn how to add a GUI.
The book I recommend for learning the language is C++ How to Program (ISBN-13: 9780136152507) or C How to Program (ISBN-13: 9780132404167). This is the book I used to learn C. There are probably lots of other good ones out there, but from first-hand experience, I can say that C How to Program is a top-notch book. It has lots of tutorials and problems and exercises for you to work through. Once you rate yourself above "Novice" level, then learn how to add a GUI. Unfortunately, neither of these books are cheap (you certainly don't need both), but you may be able to find one at a used book store for much less (especially if it's an older edition).
