Where do I go from here?

[kev1993]

Hey everyone, I am a beginning C++ programmer. I have taken a structured programming class at my college and have done some extensive studying on my own. I have about nine months experience with C++. I believe I have mastered the basics of beginning programming, classes, polymorphism, inheritance, functions, loops, outputting to a file, etc. and now I'm wondering where I go from here. Where can I learn more stuff about C++? I want to become a video game programmer and have done some fiddling around in Unity, now I want to do something more. I want to know how to use this knowledge and apply it to something. Any suggestions or...pointers? *wink**wink* ...okay, that was sad.

If you want to get into game programming, you can look at game/ multimedia libraries:

You should also make sure that you are familiar with the new C++ standard (C++11).

You should also make sure that you are familiar with the new C++ standard (C++11).

And be ready for C++14. I think somebody mentioned that come compilers already have an implementation with the -c++1x flag.

What you move onto depends on what you want to do with the language.
