now what

[sortof]

ok.. so i know the basics of c++ pretty well.. i can do simple console stuff and whatnot, but if i ever think of doing anything remotely fancy i cant do it. i want a reference or something to c++ libraries or a tutorial or something or SOmething so i can learn to do stuff besides cout<<"test"<<;. something linux specific would be a help..

Read "Clouds to Code" for an example of a pure C++ application development cycle, or look at the Scribble tutorial that accompanies MSVC if you want to get into Windows programming. Or just adopt the Nike approach: pick something you don't know how to do...and "just do it".

Cheers!

Can you help me with the code to a chess program called "8 Queens". The task is to place eight queens on an empty chess board in such a way that no queen is attacking each other. The chess board is an array [8][8]. I can really use some help.
