Becoming a Great C++ Programmer [on hold]

First of all,I am very skeptical about asking this question here cuz the last time I did,a member made me feel like an idiot bcuz apparently my question wasn't clear enough...even though all I was trying to do was to keep it short and simple.So please, I will try and be detailed this time.Thanks

Anyways as the question states,I would like to become good in c++.I am hoping to become a Graphics and Rendering Engineer in future and I know c++(expert c++) is a must.I have written a ray tracer and a path Tracer and I am currently working on an obj parser. It's really fun.I know a lot of you would say I should Google some books and read.But the thing is...I thrive on working on ACTUAL PROJECTS.I seem to learn faster that way rather than reading something that I might not use in a context.So I would like to know..... If they are any books, forums,etc that contains c++ projects for learning from beginners to experts. Covering all the necessary topics : parsing,multi threading,etc.Projects that u can do yourself and u advance and learn more about certain c++ data types and keywords and which context to use them.

Any Suggestions ? Thanks
