Day 1 consisted of me learning C++. As I said in my introduction, I have a programming background, so going through the basics of C++ was review for the most part.
Some of the topics I went over were:
- Compiling and executing code
- Comments
- Whitespace
- Main function
- Input/Output
- Namespaces
- Including header files
- Variables
- Variable conversions
- Constant variables
- Macros
- Scope
- Arithmetic operations
- Operators
- If/ Else statements
- Switch statements
- While loops
- Arrays
It's so far, so good concentration-wise. When I tried to learn Visual Basic, I found it so boring that my mind was wandering and I couldn't focus. I made my way halfway through VB 2010 and just gave up. But with C++, I feel so much more motivated and interested. Plus, my productivity is so much better with C++ Hopefully my love of C++ grows and I don't end up getting bored.
That's all for today. Tomorrow I plan on learning more C++ and experimenting with some 2D game engines in between learning sessions.

Nice post. Check out my new blog!
Hmm I want to start looking at C++ Hopefully in college Ill get a good professor that will make it not boring. :)
It's good you feel motivated with C++, keep on going with that feeling!
good luck with it
keep it up m8. I'm planning to learn C++ in the coming holidays too
c++ i started learning when i was alot younger but... i lost track of it and now i cant remember one thing
good luck man.
This is relative to my interests. I just signed up for a programming class the other day.
I wish i got into this when i was a kid..
Don't forget header file include guards and that you can't have template function definitions in a source file.
If you forget those you will get massive link errors when starting a project.
