Sup /prog/.

So recently I've begun my age-old quest of actually learning C++.

I've attempted this several times, and like most who give up, stopped after learning the very basics of the language, as I didn't really know where to go from there.

I'm not really looking to be developing specifically for Windows, but I realize that it will be where I do the majority of my work, so does anyone have anything against C++/CLI? If so, why?

Furthermore, what are some ideal "projects" to try to design?
Thanks /prog/,

What's going on in this thread? Why has no one told OP that Sepples is the worst choice? Why has no one told >>9 that Sepples is the cancer killing computing, so good riddance to it?
