I don't know what to do.

Question

Now I am 16 and I'm learning C++ with Herbert Shildt's book. I am working 4 - 6 hours per a day and I have doubts about my work, because I am just solving problems and reading a book, but I can't do something huge and practical. I want small consultation with experienced programmers, who knows what should beginner do.

Answer 1

The best programmers are those who spend most of their times to figure out what is the best way to solve the problem at hand rather than just coding blindly and struggling with their poor and buggy code.
BTW, choose another resource to learning. This guy's book haven't had good reputation among programmers.
Sooner or later your hard work shows you what it is that you suppose to have.

Answer 2

Hi Ellias,
What about walking through various open source projects and start to contribute to the project you love ? I recommend you browse github to walk through plenty of these projects... You can also look at various tutorials on various well known frameworks, Qt fo instance... Or you can start to imagine a simple game and start thinking about how you can implement it.

Good luck and happy coding ;)
