Anyways, I liked g++ (very similar to gcc)..
but I'd like to have also, as a backup, GUI compiler...

what's the name of the best GUI compiler for C++??

Thanks..

Best? In the eye of the beholder. Also depends on the OS you're compiling on. For Linux, Eclipse is not bad (www.eclipse.org/cdt). For Windows, probably Microsoft's Visual Studio is the best.

3) What is the recommended compiler in linux?
4) What is unique in C++, why was there even a need for this language? (Why didn't C was enough?)
5) Do you think I should know anything else? what?

1) Commands of G++.
2) No, only with the IDEs and compilers.
3) Gcc/G++.
4) OOP. C is structured, C++ Object oriented.
5) *nix commands.

was on vacation but still took the book with me...

learned alot although it was a holiday in other country... but it's really nice to learn C++ in the sea :P you should try it

Code:

namespace name
{
cout << "hello people";
}

I might ask here few questions about the (const& all this type& type* variables which I didn't understand perfectly from this book), But I want to retry understanding it :]

Thanks guys for all the help!
