So much more...You should learn hardware interfacing..which is one of the most interesting aspects of C programming......

Learn how to write a driver, b/c if all you can do is writing an IM client or a 3D scene for a game this is not a lot to chalk up as a C++ programmer. Internet programs can easily put together in Java or C# or whatever, games are rather saturated market, but drivers are something else.

do something with what you have learned that's the only way to really learn things.
give yourself a program to do (a long job, not something you'll finish in 2 days) and try to do it.. the target you've set will drive your next thing to study.
This scenario will also prepare you to face what you might find in a typical working situation.
Programming is not about studying, it's about create stuff and identify what to study to get into a situation to be able to create what you want.

Spend some time working with the core of the language and not just a bunch of external libraries. Once the core of any language is embedded in your brain, the possibilities are endless :)

The great part of software including your OS is made with a use of C++ so...you can learn a lot of things more... for instance:
DDK, Sockets, OpenGL, UnixCore development, COM, DatabaseManagment ADO, .. etc..

where are you going? data types, access modes for random access, conversiov, literal qualifers, sequential files, commoc memory,origin values,arguments ets.
u should learn c first before c++. turbo c++.
computer people fall into two categories: users and programmers.

depends on what you really want to do..
You can alternatively move towards a web language such as PHP (which uses similar syntax as C++) and try to make something that everyone can use?
