Hi all, i'm looking for project suggestions that would force me to "get my hands dirty" with advanced C++ features. I'm talking about projects that would utilize the full power of the language (STL or even boost (didn't use it much yet)). Why? Because i want to learn, i want to find new challenges. At work, things start to be boring, r...

I want to play more with some of this s...

I've used tryruby.org a little bit once, and I'm hoping there's something similar for php. I learned using books, but I don't want them to have to go through setting up a server on their localhost...
I ask on behalf of those that have a very hard time grasping the basics, and I mean the very basics. From simple loops to basic arrays and what have you.
