For more pure C++ coding, I recommend the exercises in Stroustrup's C+
+.
How about something that gets you more familiar with a particular OS
API (and its do***entation)?
- Recursively list files given a starting directory
- Create a process that responds to the Windows service control
manager start and stop requests
- Open a socket and read / write data (can use Wireshark to observe
and/or netcat to open a listener ****t and provide output)
Also, interacting with a third party library can be useful in terms of
reading and understanding do***entation, IDE settings for the
compilation and linking process, and learning how to adapt or ****m
your design for an interface created by others.
- zlib - zip a specified file or directory
Hope this was useful
