Moving to C++ (47)

I’ve been studying Java for a while and I feel really comfortable with the fact that I could get the JDK and official compiler form Sun’s page, the API is easy to check and find what I need and how to use it.
I am interested in learning C++ but I’m a little bit confused on how the Standard Library works compared to the class libraries in Java. I come to you with these questions:
-> How is the Standard Library different and how does it work?
-> What’s the difference between using one compiler instead of another.
-> What are some good compilers and IDEs you would recommend to someone that’s starting?

Thanks in advance

We have a winner.

C++ is showing its age, although you still need to know it if you want a job (and hate yourself).
