Get past cout.

So.. I've watched a bunch of tutorials on C++. Most of them teach me the basics with printing things out in the console. Arrays, pointers.. etc.. I've learned all that, and don't know what to do right now. For making windows applications, i've only found tutorials in visual c++, with the win32 app template. I'd like to learn how to write these applications myself, and not just inputting some code into a "template-code" that someone already wrote. Also i'd like to stick with Codeblocks since i'm comfortable with it, and not switch between IDE's depending on what i am doing. Where do i find tutorials that teach me about making windows applications?

Are you looking to make widgetry style programs with forms, pushbuttons, and other controls?

Or are you looking to make more game-like graphical programs where you have a singular window that you draw a bunch of images to?

I'd like to learn software developing in general. Calculators, browsers.. etc. Just giving you a bunch of examples here."forms and pushbuttons" yes.. I am also abit interested in game developing. The question is, where do i find all this information on where to start? It would be nice with a forum with many sub-forums for different things. This forum doesn't have too many sub-forums, so it's not the easiest finding what you're looking for here.
