There are a number of (GUI) programming IDEs available, but none would
be similar enough that you'd be able to use a book on Visual C++ to
learn. The reason is largely because developing for Unix as opposed to
Win32 is quite a bit different. Visual C++ development for Win32 has
aspects that don't apply to programming in general.

You'd be best going with a book on ANSI C/C++, then later focusing on
the particular environment you want to develop for.

As far as development IDEs, some that look promising: (haven't used any
of them yet)
        Code Crusader   - like Metrowerk's Code Warrior, freeware
        SlickEdit       - looks to be a very sophisicated IDE comparable to MS Visual
Studio, although it's a fairly pricey commercial product.
        VisualTcl       - I think it's akin to Visual Basic, with the advantage that,
well, it doesn't use Basic.
