It's not that straight-forward, and practically no-one here is going to straight up tell you how to do it.

If you have done C++ programming in Windows, was it just C++, or was it C++.NET? If it was .NET, then look into the Mono project. Otherwise, you will probably want to look into what can give you a similar functionality in the GTK+mm or Qt toolkits.

It depends on what you are doing, but you may want to look into OpenGL.

Look at that to learn how to program, and now this:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GTK%2B_By_Example

Or this:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Qt

to learn GTK+ or Qt. I would love to see a Wikibook on Clutter, but it has yet to be seen.

Since you're using Ubuntu, I'd suggest using GTK. If you want to stick with C++, you'll need the gtkmm libraries. You might want to consider using Glade to design your UI. Here's the description from the (Fedora) Glade3 package

the GTK+ toolkit and the GNOME desktop environment.
