    My personal experience with C++ ended shortly after my introduction to C# (and .NET). C++ by default doesn't have garbage collector, so you will be responsible for memory management (fun or nightmare), but I think there are some libraries that can do it for you.

    In terms for writing code I ended in console apps, never made to apps with GUI. This where you will start anyway - writing some "Hello World" code, loops etc, but all that stuff is useful. Have fun.

    I know you are not interested in, but consider learning Ruby at the same time (Ruby, not Ruby on Rails which is a framework for web apps).
