   From my experience looking at working code is a great way to learn any
language.  There's tons of stuff available on the net. Pick a topic that
you're interested in and find a program in that genre.  Try to expand the
programs' functionality or rewrite parts that don't work so well. While
doing that you'll start to learn how a non-trivial application is developed
and organized.

if you have programmed before, in any language, take the easiest of the
programs and code it for c++ and make it work.  Then, gradually move up to
your hardest and longest program and also make it work and you'll be ready
to take a task.

Otherwise, I have a few projects that you could start helping me with... ;-)
