i ahve a 600 page book on all the basics of C++ and it is going to be a long time before i am going to be writing any good programs other then pointless console apps....

if you are gonna plan on learning C++ or any programming language, you better have alot of free time on ur hands because you'll need it... it takes a long time to be able to do programm well with a high end programming language(i cant remember the right wording for it :S) so ye....

*EDIT* i sugest learning a simpler language first, or learn to use something like REALbasic, it helps you understand some things like if's,fors,whiles,goto's,strings,integers,doubles, and alot more, and you can make cool applications in it, very easily, i made a media viewer(like music and movies), text editor, a internet browser, picture viewer, and working on learning some of the different ways to make my own chat client, but still learning the advanced stuf like that, its very confusing...

but its very easy to make small appz in REALbasic like some of the things i mentioned above that i did....
