Good. Now move on to Meyers' "Effective C++", "More Effective C++",
and "Effective STL". And look at Lakos' "Large Scale C++ Software
Design" and read Cline, Lomow, and Girou's "C++ FAQs". Just knowing
the syntax inside and out doesn't make you ready to write good C++
code.

I am pretty much confused because I am readin all about domain-knowledge
and nothign else,I have not done any C++ coding from since FEB 1st
because the project requires me to understand these issues 1st as they
code around all these issues. I don't understand the "path" of real-life
programmer and how to go about it. any help ?

Welcome to real life programming. Programming languages are a tool
used to create software solutions to real life problems.
