This post pretty much made me start wanting to learn C++. I have been wanting to attempt it since I was around 14-15, but never knew what the crap I was supposed to do, etc., and now I am 18 just starting it hehe

.

I've decided to try to work on 1 of Cprogrammings project every other day, as in one day, read through the tutorial and do what it says, take the quiz, and score myself, then the next day go over what I learned and study into it a bit more, and take the quiz, *hopefully* making better than the previous score. So far I missed 1 question on the first quiz, due to not remembering covering something hehe.

I just figured fellow newbies might find my method a helpful way in learning, so that's why I posted the above. I'm sure later on in c++ the tutorials will get harder, or my goals get harder, and be forced to take a much longer time completing the.... "assignment". That's why I have also tooken up a habit to put a comment ( // or /* *\ - you will read about these in the first tutorial in the given link by Eriond) at the very end of my "Hello World" Project, to summarize what I have learned so far. I found this is a much easier way to go over what I have learned, instead of manually searching through the tutorials about it. I also noticed that the tutorial uses several different words that *may* throw some people off and confuse them.. if you don't understand a meaning, keep reading. You will eventually find out what it means or what it is used for. Anyways, hope I helped a few fellow newbies with my methods, and thanks a TON for this very helpful post Eriond.
