Im starting to learn C++ but it gets really boring and i fell like im not learning anything or getting anywhere. Any suggestions?

Either read more at a time, or do something else. Learning takes effort, so if you really want to learn it, you''ll have to work for it^^
(btw, C++ is always erally boring until you can make a simple game with it)

Here''s a way that I use - design an application, not too hard but one you can''t actually code. Then start coding. Everytime you get stuck, use your books as references and research the solution to that little problem. Eventually you will have you app done, learned a lot.
Doing things this way will mean you will learn in a rather non-sequential way, and will not always do things the best way first off. Sometimes the solution will require many layers of research and learning but at least you are working toward a concrete goal. In terms of learning it''s got drawbacks but it works wonders keeping things interesting and keeping you motivated.

Get an interface that will setup some of the initial code, like a template that opens a window. Now mess with that. Change the size. Put some frames in it. Now put something in a frame. Now make the other one scroll and add a bunch of data.
Ok this is really lame, but at least you''ll see some results I guess, and you can mess with one aspect at a time and see how it changes your application.
As said before though, to really learn it is going to take a long time, so its just a matter of effort and interest.
