I read the about four different kinds of C/C++ books, and I bought the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler, so now what should I do?

Learn to program, write cool apps, and then switch to linux

Mess about! Find some sourceforge (sourceforge.net) projects to be involved in! Just Look around the web for games people have made, and rip them off...

Write a game like Pacman (or tetris or anything of this level of complexity)
Finish it from start screen to ending credits. This will teach you the things not written in the C++ books. Starting with a simple game (or any other program) allowes you to focus on the general programming issues rather than specific how-to's like difficult math problems or memory handling. RedX
