New to C++

this probably isn't helpful but the easiest way to learn a language is to use it. start with simple utilities that do something moderately useful dir/ls, type/cat, wc, etc.

writing these simple tools (even if you throw them away later) gets youexperince using fundamental parts of the language: io (console and file), string handling, memory mangement, variable scope, arrays, oop issues like polymorphism, casting, overriding and overloading, etc.

hope this helps.
