What do I do now?

Okay, so I have finished with that C++ For Dummies book and now know the basics of C++ (classes, inheritance, etc.) I would like to know where I go from here. I of course want to get into game development, so I was thinking of purchasing Tips of the Windows Game Programming Gurus, however I have a problem. My problem is that I am not sure if I am ready for such a book, so i would like to ask this question to anyone who has read it; I only know how to program in DOS so if I purchase this book will I need to know a lot about windows programming or will knowledge of how to program C/C++ dos be enough?
