I think you guys are familiar with SFML? SFML has served me well in making games and other applications but I am wondering if it's worth it to apply it in networking? Like if I were to make a packet sniffer out of SFML, would this be a stupid choice since SFML was not intended for such things.
This is a question that is best answered by browsing SFML's documentation. It looks like Packet, SocketTCP and SocketUDP are the relevant classes, but none of them appear to provide any functionality that would let you put your NIC into promiscuous mode.
A better starting point would be libpcap.

I'd like to know what is the best and faster way to write a GUI in C++.
In the past I've created my GUI with just Windows API.
Now I'd like to read some suggestion about other libs like GTK , MFC , QT ecc.
Thanks :)
Use Qt. It's powerful and easy to use, also, it's cross-platform. If I need a GUI for C++, I always go for Qt.

What do you need to learn OpenGL? Do you need to learn C/C++ first? I have experience with C but none with C++.
I would suggest using c++ due to it having an object oriented side, but the opengl is cross platform
http://www.opengl.org/resources/bindings/
You can use mostly C with very little C++.
I would suggest looking at nehe.gamedev.net for some tutorials to help out.

I want to start a project in c++ and is looking for a good framework with all the good libraries for making a small GUI desktop software, I feel its good to stop a while and listen to you before kick off.
Also please suggest:
if openFrameworks is a good choice?
other good cpp frameworks (especially for GUI desktop application)
depends what you are trying to do.
for a simple application i would look into wxWidgets or qt
it seems like openframeworks is geard more towards opengl developement like for games

I am starting to do some development in C++ which includes the use of COM interfaces in Windows. I have to make a decision to learn or not to learn the COM technology. So, I want to ask if the COM programming is still widely used or is it rather outdated? Is it still a good idea to invest ones time into learning COM?

I'm looking for a QR-Code library for C/C++, not Java or .Net please. Anyone knows of one?
Note: There was a similar question a while back however but it didn't get
answered properly.
How is this one?

The zxing library is primarily Java, but, includes a port of the QR Code detector and decoder to C++.
check out my widely cross platform C port of Psytec QR Image generator
