Journal Cpach's Journal: C++ Fun apps to create so learning can be fun 5

Journal by Cpach
Well I have used google, msn, yahoo search engines to find any site that can start me off with writing code and making fun small apps in C\C++. I have great books on C\C++ but they are very bland. I know the languages have been around for ages now so someone must have created this type of learning format (Keeping Fingers Crossed). I would love to learn the language inside and out but I keep running into a brick wall. So my fellow /.ers I turn to you for advise.

  • I've done the google search. I'm extremely rusty, after years not coding.

    You need to think up your own tasks. I've decidied to implement a crude version of bignum next, for example, to test with some basic "school-level" crytography.

    Really, that is my best advice to you: be alert to any "real world" problems that you could simplify and implement. Do some simple maths: prime divisors, rational approximation (make a program to find a succession of fractional approximations to sqrt(2). Next challeng

    • How about some basic window creation apps in Windows? You got any ideas/good links for that?
      • I have nearly zero Windows experience.

        You can probably hunt around MS's developer site [microsoft.com] for freebies, though.

        If I were you, though, I'd seriously consider dual-booting. Get a middle of the road [redhat.com] distro, with lots of support [google.com] online, and use something like the Anjuta [sourceforge.net] IDE, which is really straightforward to use. I'm using Eclipse [eclipse.org], myself, with the C/C++ [eclipse.org] extension, which is not nearly so nice to use, but then I'll be teaching the disabled, and I need to have access to tools which are both free and cross-pl

    • I am going to point you to a question I submitted to the fine folks at Channel9 [msdn.com] It is related to the fact I can not load red hat 9
      • RH9 is, ummm, old hat. Wait until Fedora 4 comes out, and use that. Apart from anything else, anything pre-Fedora 3 will have kernel 2.4 rather than 2.6, which means that USB, bluetooth, etc. simply won't have the same kernel-side support. What's more, as old technology, it won't be receiving the same level of developer focus, so that questions are more likely to go unanswered.

        As for forums, I'd start with a Google [google.com] or Google Linux [google.com] search. Plenty of forums will come up! If you want a Fedora specific f
