Java has very similar syntax to C++, though the definition of classes is different and Java doesn't have pointers. Not explicitly, at least. PHP is closer to C, as it is not typically used in an OO fashion. I know it can, but it's not done very often.

C++ on its own can only produce console/command line applications. In order to have a user interface, you need a graphics library. That could be a proprietry one from Microsoft or Apple, or a cross-platform one like GTK.
