I got this little project started:
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/13069107/fpart/1
Basically, i have learned the C++ basics, now i need read up on the following:
GUI programming. (What is Qt4??)
TCP IP internet / network programming
and SQL
Its a good thing i already got professional visual studio 2010 and professional SQL server 2008 and server 2008...
Can anyone recommend a good book on GUI?

"Qt (pronounced officially as cute (/kyut/) though commonly pronounced as Q.T. (/ˈkyu ti/)[3][4]) is a cross-platform application framework that is widely used for developing application software with graphical user interface (GUI), (in which case Qt is referred to as a widget toolkit when used as such), and also used for developing non-GUI programs such as command-line tools and consoles for servers. Qt is most notably used in Autodesk [5][6], Google Earth, KDE, Adobe Photoshop Album, the European Space Agency [7], OPIE, Skype, VLC media player, Samsung [8], Philips [9], Panasonic [10] and VirtualBox. It is produced by Nokia's Qt Development Frameworks division, which came into being after Nokia's acquisition of the Norwegian company Trolltech, the original producer of Qt, on June 17, 2008.[11]"

I was speaking towards Visual Studio, not QT. I agree, QT is pretty nice for cross platform GUI.
