Pick up a copy of "Practical C++ Programming" by Steve Oualine and
published by Oreily and Associates. It's a very good book on the
mechanics of C++ programming and includes examples for Unix. BTW,
there is no language called "C/C++". You either code in C or C++. I
discovered this when I thought I was writing C code, but it had to
be compiled using g++ because I was using some c++ constructs.
Check http://www.gtk.org and look into the tutorial. It makes creating
X apps fairly easily. If you are more interested in making games, there
is a cross-platform toolkit calld SDL available at
http://www.devolution.com/~slouken/SDL/. It claims to be able to create
cross-platform code that runs on Linux/Windows/BeOS and soon MacOS. I've
gotten a simple program to compile on Windows/Linux (the wonders of
cross-compilers), but the Windows version pagefaults all the time.
