No pointers, oop, and garbage collection come to mind. Not the worst thing in the world for specific purposes, but in some sense it's not "real" programming.

When will you brainlets learn? This is why most "hobbyists" are underage - they're practising for the future. If you really must learn C++ in a month, you're pretty screwed, but devote all your time to it, and take on some pet projects for C++ in the meantime. Try a few on attached pic. I'd also suggest experimenting with other languages as well, to get a proper mindset for algorithmic thinking, and visiting >>>/g/dpt for more projects can't hurt. If you encounter things you can't solve, try Google, StackOverflow and >>>/g/sqt

I haven't touched a single textbook in my life and I could do the majority on this list. I'm not saying textbooks are useless though.
