examples?

[ledzepfan32]

Hello, I just purchased Sam's Teach Yourself C++ in 21 days book for my independent study, and was wondernig if anyone had examples of beginner programs that could be made after such a book was completed? TIA, -Brad

I am now done the book for the most part, just reviewing unclear sections. I made a hangman program a month or so ago, but now my teacher would like another program using basic c++ knowledge, after my 3 week book, any suggestions?

Nice, thanks. I'm on cprogramming.com a fair amount, I don't know how I missed those.

My hangman program used mainly if/then/cout statements, so the problem is this book didn't really explain a real world use for the code. What sort of program (for my independent study class) should I try with a basic 21 Days knowledge of C++? Also, I was looking into possible going into other languages and not go too in depth with C++, probably more visual or web-based such as PHP, do you guys think I should try something else to see if that fancies me better, or just stick with C++?TIA, -Brad

hi there,

as you know there are lots of programming language that we people can use, but as an advise, i think you'd better stick on one language first before going or change to other language, C++ is a more challenging language than other language, if you can prove that you may become good C++ coder i think it will become more easy for you to study other language like what you've said..


goodluck!!!!!!!

ya, i've heard that about c++, and have decided to keep going with it. What books would anyone suggest using next? codeguru.com people mainly thought the meyers effective c++ books, but I was also looking into game programming c++ books, such as
http://www.amazon.com/Game-Programming-C%2B%2B-Finish-Development/dp/1584504323/sr=1-1/qid=1165855767/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-1384854-1040120?ie=UTF8&s=books

opinions?
