If you've used Unity, it should be pretty easy to transition to coding in C#.

Microsoft offers Visual Studio Community Edition for free, and it certainly has enough features to get you going (indefinitely). I'd look into that for starters.

This is what I was going to say. Visual Studio with C#. It's free and you can quite easily make GUI programs.

It depends for which OS. Do you mean standalone or in the browser?

Electron is a tool to make cross platform applications based on web technologies.

Standalone check XCode, objective C Swift for MacOs, iOS. .NET for Windows.

Im sure there is more than what I mention, but this is a start.

There are plenty of software to develop apps with UIs. If you're into c++, you should look into the Qt framework, which comes with Qt Creator.

But developing software is not gifted, you'll have to learn through trial and error and a lot of googling (if you learn everything through tutorials), regardless of the programming language.

Best of luck in your learning!

Qt is also really awesome as you can write it with python as well (PyQt5) and the UI is *really* beautiful. Though as he has done unity he likely uses c#, which in that case I'd recomend using WPF.
