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/,

If indirect function calls are a major issue, you're doing it wrong. And Sepples' stricter typing offer more opportunities for optimizing than plain C.
