What can i achieve in C++?
Hello everyone. I am new here and I wanted to ask what I can achieve in C++.
I recently started learning. I am going through the Documentation on this website, but I still consider myself nothing in the world of C++. When I looked at other threads I was dumbfounded by what I saw because I was barely able to understand a single line of it.
My questions are
1)What can I do with C++ when I only started learning 1 month ago.
2)When can I reach a level to start doing useful applications?(How much time will it take me)
Thank you very much!

Q: What can I do with C++ when I only...?
A: C++ is used to create software. Software can do virtually anything. It all depends on the programmer's ability level.
Q: When can I reach a level...?
A: How fast do you learn and how much time are you willing to invest?
If by "useful applications" you mean programs that have GUIs and all, then probably quite a while, because first you must learn at least some subset of the C++ language and then you must learn one of the available GUI APIs.
If by "useful applications" you mean anything more than printing out hello world, then not long.

All of these are very good beginner problems. Some are more involved than others, but Grey Wolf's project ideas are always scalable to your own level of ability.
Or, just decide on something you would like to do. Keep it relatively simple to begin with --then do some research and try coding some prototype pieces to learn whether or not you find it doable.
Hope this helps.
