I am a software engineer and i work in VC++, C++ in WIndows OS.
Are there any major differences when it comes to coding in C++ in Linux environment.
Or is it just some adjustments that we have to make when we need to code in C++ in Linux.

It would depend on the types of projects you’ve worked on and what native windows APIs you made use of. For example if you used the native Windows API for everything, you’re going to have a pretty big task ahead of you, it’d be worth making your project(s) work nicely with Wine instead.
In the Linux environment you have the man pages, quite detailed documentation of almost everything :). As mentioned above, look at POSIX, and while I recommend Qt – it provides a LOT of abstractions for things you might want to learn to do the Linux way (eg sockets, filesystem…)
