Not Sure Where to Go From Here
Hello All,
I've just completed an Intro to C++ course and while I felt that I learned a lot, tons of things just aren't sticking. I'm just wondering how I can make sure what I've learned sticks and continue on to mastering this language. I'm planning on re-reading the chapters, but as the saying goes, programming is best learned by doing it. This class was my first real exposure to the world of programming, so for me, it was at times a case of information overload. Besides, I was only able (due to financial reasons) to get my hands on the textbook, etc. about halfway through the semester. I've looked into game programming, somewhat as a hobby. However, since a lot of it involves using C++, it might help. Besides, I've wanted to work in that field for a while. Anywho, I just needed some solid advice on how to make sure that the stuff I missed/stuff that didn't stick does. Thanks in advance.
See ya on the flipside,

Make a game. First start with an idea, then figure out how to program it. Using other libraries will help you learn how they are designed and used, which will help you learn how to design code. Graphics and gui libraries are a good place to start. I'd suggest Qt and openGL.
