There are a few popular options for developing desktop apps - Visual Studio for C++, C# and other Microsoft programming languages; Eclipse or NetBeans for Java; Xcode for Mac apps; and multi-platform tools like Qt Creator using C++ or Python.
For beginners, Python is generally the easiest to pick up given its simple syntax and extensive libraries. C# comes next due to features like automatic memory management.
Once code development is complete, you need to package your app into an installation file. On Windows, use tools like Inno Setup or NSIS to create an MSI or EXE package containing the app files, a setup wizard etc.
Some essential tools for debugging desktop apps include a debugger, logging, and profiler. These tools can help you fix bugs in desktop app code and make it run hassle-free.
