The Next step

[semsemdiver]

hello my 1ovely c++ partners (:
im about to finish my second course in C++,
these two Courses was about C++ fundamental,
i reached the inheritance and polymorphism
and all examples was in Console app. I haven't
tried any other kind of programs
i need your suggestions please for the next
step, is there any Course i must study to be
aware of any thing important as a beginner?
what about windows app? should i start it
from zero or start with visual C++? tell me
about your experiences with c++ learning,
what steps did you take, what to avoid to not
wasting the time?
appreCiate your help. thank you in advance.

best regards

There is quite a lot of material in C++ that can't be covered in 2 courses. The C++ Standard Library headers are a huge amount of material, most of what you probably haven't even heard of yet:
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/header

If you want to dive in and learn on your own doing the tutorials at Learn C++ might be helpful:
https://www.learncpp.com/

Take your time, as you learn new things you will make mistakes. Don't get frustrated, C++ has a steep learning curve.

One of the best online references for C++ is https://en.cppreference.com/w/

It is NOT geared to learning how to program C++, it is a very dense and technical reference site.

Thank you "Furry Guy" for your advice and information .. i feel that i learned silly things like math operations " just get some numbers from users and make operations with these numbers" or " strings get and print and so on" most of beginners courses are talking about these thing " how to apply these ideas with functions and classes that is all" i feel this is not enough for me, even database programming like i learned before with Vb-6 all are the same idea "get data from user and save it in the database file and make some operation on this data" if i learned how to do this with C++ i will feel i have learned nothing !!
i want to know about systems design, how do different systems work? how to use them or even modify them as i need by code not by options, how anti viruses work how do they recognize the thread ?
i want know how to protect my self from hackers attacks, i want know how those hackers cracks the systems?, how do they crack the original applications, do they really do that or the owners just want to spread out their application? i want to know to deal with different kinds of files and use them with different App and how to creating macros to connect them together?
all these things i think C++ is the best language to understand them otherwise no need to waste my time in learning other usual programs which any one can do. " have you got my point?"
anyway thanks a lot for your advice.
