Learning C++. What program should I make first?

I need an idea. Something simple, like a web browser that does something or whatever. Give me a good idea and you get a free copy of the program! I am just looking for ideas. ;)

Just try out something. Possibly a MYSQL client with GUI. Would make it a lot easier to remote admin servers. Similar to phpMyAdmin, but without all the installing hassle.

Well, maybe that's only feasible if you know MySQL. Otherwise, just make a tool for SCAR aiding with the creation of comment blocks, etc.

Make a graphical version of hello world, with a window and some buttons... its harder than it sounds, and you should learn a lot about windows messages =P After that, make a keylogger. Use Windows hooks.

C++ is really quite simply once you get the hang of it, im working on graphics, that is the hard part(i wana make a video game).

SO your beyond hello world?

Try making a program that uses arrays to ask the user the name of Student 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. then it will ask you the age of each name, then the grade, then it will cout all the students names ages and grades.

For the name, include string.h and use a string or just use an array of chars

pm me if you want my solution to compare to yours, or if you want more problems to work on, lol iv got a lot. I love to program in C++, trust me stick with it,dont do c first, they are the same only you can do more with c++, like structs and classes. But if you have a hard time with pointers, i would transfer to C#, which has an easier way of doing pointers. But otherwise, stick with C++, it is the most useful.
