Thread: Where to go from here?

Hi all,

I finished Jumping into C++ and I spent a couple of months surfing the web and learning things.
But now I need a direct path, something to follow that isn't people publishing random code on
forums that works; but I do not understand it as I am not correctly taught. For all of the experts
out there, how did you escape the 'writers block'. I suppose that's one way of saying it. I'm only 15
so there aren't any classes on programming besides some 'Hello World!' and basic 'if statements' in
Python. I really want to pursue programming, yet I have no idea where to go. If anyone knows a way
that they can help me, I would be more than grateful.

Thanks

I wouldn't really say that I could find bugs or contribute when I can't write effective or useful code. Can you recommend any books or sites that could help me please?

Do you know how to work with data structures? If not, this would be a good step to take after the basics, as any significant programming projects you take on down the line will more than likely require knowledge and experience in this area.
