[WANTED] Exercises for C++ learning
« on: August 26, 2005, 04:14:12 PM »
Now I finally got myself around to try and learn some C++. I got my hands on a book that was recommended by several people ("Teach yourself C++ in 21 days" by Jesse Liberty) and started digging into it. The book is written quite well, I understand it and it has many examples.
But after 8 chapters I get to the point where I need to exercise what I have learned so far so I don't forget it. And that's something that is missing in this book: Exercises. So it would be really great if somebody knew some place / internet site / book with exercises for a C++ beginner he can recommend :)

I don't have any specific suggestions, but I did a quick google for "c++ curriculum" and got some promising-looking hits.  Maybe google for "c++ exercises", too.

thedude0001,

You must read code and alter it, see if it does what you wanted, fix it, etc. That is how you learn.

I suggest you to start changing some apps like amulecmd/amulecmdDLG or amuleweb/amulewebDLG. They are the easiest in the aMule suite, but yet, they have some flavour of aMule capabilities.

And bug ken. He is the C++ master of the universe :D

I've always found the best way to learn a language, and learn the principles is to just start programming something, and figuring out what you want to do as you go along.

Be sure to spend time learning the principles and theory behind all the programming - as in the long run this is more important than learning a language. If you understand the principles you can easily pick up new languages.
