About advanced C++

[nitingupta]

I want to know more about C++.
Presently my knowledge ranges from basic functions to classes to data file handling.Tell me what to do?
I also want to learn about hacking (and NOT cracking)through C++.
Please give me directions.

You should be more specific about what you mean by "hacking", if you mean doing something illegal then this is not the place. To really learn c++ you should think of a project, maybe start small and just keep coding. The more you code the more you learn. If you want to learn to hack then google is your best friend, read read read.

I am definitely not thinking about anything illegal.I also mentioned that here -
about hacking (and NOT cracking)

Without knowing where you have been it is hard to give directions as to where to go next.

You could take a look at some books, some ideas for good books:

Learn C...

hacking (and NOT cracking)
there is a book called "advanced linux programing" which may help you with hacking.
also lean encryption/decryption and system programing.

cheers!

Thanks a lot everyone.
I want to write more and more code.Tell me some to practice or just suggest a book which is exclusively for C++ exercises
