I switched from M$ Windows to linux thinking I would sorta be forced to 
learn more programming. I have had two college classed in C++ but I have yet 
to learn how to really "Code" not once in either classes was any serious 
application programming taught. I need to learn to program desperately. But 
trying to sit down and page through code is very very boring. When I'm 
debugging I can spend hours in front of the terminal, same with trying to 
hack one of my friends programs. But whenever I try to hack/figure out, a 
complex app I get frustrated because right off the bat the code gets very 
advanced or is commented in a way only a guru would understand.
I have read a few c++ books but they are almost all the same, covering the 
same thing over and over. Can someone recomend a book or a method to help me 
to break out of newbie code? I would greatly appreciate it.
