Need inspiration / assignments
Hey guys,
New at programming here.
First of, i'm learning from learncpp.com and currently starting OOP. How is learncpp.com for beginners?
I find myself confused most of the time, and frankly, at most I bet I Can recall like 50% of the material gone through so far.
I'm wondering if you guys know a place where I might get inspiration for total beginnerprograms I Can work on to get started really coding instead of just reading away:)
Regards

the book my intro class used is available online at: http://eembdersler.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/c_early.pdf
you can try looking at that if you want.

I've been using http://projecteuler.net/ to help me better my programming. I like it because of the progression of difficulty and how it eventually forces or just challenges you to learn common algorithms (like Sieve of Eratosthenes) and code in a more elegant manner.
Also, when you get the answer, it's fun to look around the internet and see how everyone else went about finding the answer. A lot of the time, I find a way that is much more efficient and that sticks in my head whilst programming later on.
EDIT:
Also, I use thenewboston youtube channel's C++ playlist to explain a lot of concepts to me. They're short, funny, and it helps to have the code explained as it's being coded to see and hear the thought process.

Thanks alot, very nice info and knowhow. That book looks quite alright, I'll def have a peek in that one.
I've seen some of buckys channel and he's good for sure =)
I need, like ideas as to problems to solve. I'm drawing a complete blank in the lack of inspiration.
So, I was hoping someone else have had the same problem and thought "Man, I'm gathering all the small programming problems in one place for newbies to solve"?
I'm not even sure if it makes any sense what I'm saying?
