Projects

[Robbehe]

Hello again, so yesterday I did a post asking for some help to learn basics and I actually think Im starting to get a hang on it.
Im looking for some easy beginners projects to work on and eventually move on to more complex projects. It's just I have no idea what to start with.
So my question is if anyone of you got any good projects for a beginner.
I want a project that I can actually handle, at this moment Im not good at all, I barely remember the basics, but if I hit a roadblock ill just look it up, I just dont want to be spoon fed with all the information about it. Any tips or ideas are warmly welcomed.

Thanks in advance,
Kind regards, Robbehe

You could do some projecteuler.org questions or just Google "Basic C++ exercises". Also many online books or tutorials contain end of chapter exercises.

A simple thing to start with is an address book. Start with input and output. Then move up and use arrays, then string searching, classes, file stream, functions, by the time you're done, you'll have a good understanding of how to write simple programs, try to make it so you're happy with it, then try dummy proofing it, eg. You ask for a phone number but the person entered a name, or only gave you 4 numbers. You'd be impressed with how simple an address book sounds but how complex it can get to make it great.

Edit: I love project Euler, but I'd only suggest it if you have a firm knowledge of logic, math, and programming. Even the first few problems pose an intimidation factor for those just starting out, but it's definitely worth a shot.
