Hi,
I started programming C++ a few weeks ago and have spent enough time to know a bit of the syntax and getting familiar with OOP. I have always had an image of C++ and C being used for embedded systems and solving mathematical problems. The books i have purchased seem to imply that whatever happens in the programs you write are limited to reading and writing to text files and printing text in the command window. However, today I stumbled upon a tutorial about socket programming and was very excited when i successfully created a server and a client on two different computers. It makes me wonder what other possibilities there are. I guess the answer is "everything you want", but I cant find libraries or tutorials for C++ that teaches more practical stuff like socket programming. The tutorials I find are always intended to teach you to use the syntax and have trivial examples about apples and oranges.
So my question is, what other exciting things can C++ do beyond solving algorithms and run on micro controllers?
