Moving on from a C++ course

[thesaleman]

This is a completely non-technical issue. This fall, I had a C++ course at my uni, my second exposure to programming, the first being "INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING (on matlab)". . . Anyway, I loved the course, and aced it. Now, I am kind of stuck about where to move on to next. Looking through the forums, I feel that i havnt learned a lot, and i need some structured advice about what to pursue next . . . My area of interest is writing programs for Linux and I just dont know where to start. Please do mention learning aids (like ebooks) and other material to help a poor soul out :(

Well, that depends on whether you are a fish (sole) or a human (soul). :)

One very good way to learn C++ is to do the exercises in "The C++ Programming Language" by Stroustrup.

my motivation is socket programming and game programming. so, I'm eating the books for now to move to the next level :)

if it helps...

Socket Programming FTW. =]

I'd read the tuts on this site, and if you feel adventurous look into SFML or SDL
