ive just started too, well revisiting after 15 years away from using C..
There's an old saying "If you dont use it you lose it" and that saying is true. Just started re-reading "Beginning C++" ( about a 1000 pages ) and then I will re-read "C++ The Complete Reference" (another 1000 pages). You could check out www.codeguru.com/forum/ or http://www.codeproject.com/
