    Good Project?

    Hey guys.

    I'm just starting to learn c++. So far, the most complicated things I have made are rock/paper/scissors (rand ints + if statements) and guessing games (arrays, goto loops, and for loops). What would be a good function/technique to focus on next? Or what would be a good program to try and make in order to take the next step?

    Thank you for your time.

    Make anything that connects to a database. you could make a stock inventory program. make tcp/ip programs also, for practice.

    You will want to start making classes as soon as possible. You also haven't mentioned how much you're using functions so far. If you have started using functions, have you done any function overloading?

    At this stage, you can probably do any reasonable challenge (not databases, that requires separate libraries). The problem is you are likely to do them within the boundaries of what you know. Using arrays is easy, and you are likely to solve many problems with arrays, even if you would do better to use std::vector.

    Because C++ is such a rich language, you could probably spend two classes just to cover the "basics" of the language. That would include classes, templates, using multiple source files, and using the STL. Then you could move on to an advanced class on the STL. None of this would necessarily cover best-practices!

    Classes and objects are a good place to begin now. Try to make a program entirely out of classes.

    Good idea. How do you intend on learning them?

    I'm going to learn the actual syntax from an online tutorial. As for applications in a program, would you have any suggestions?

    Have you tried any of the problems at Project Euler ?
