It's going to take longer than 1 month. You'll have some basics down, like variable scope, declaring var types, functions, etc. You might start to touch on objects.

However what are you learning C++ for? A job? A personal project? A contributor to open source software? I probably should have specified that. For a serious C++ job it'll take more than 4 months full time to be competent enough to talk your way through an interview.

Gosh... I guess I really want to create my own programs rather than rely on whatever new project google or microsoft cooks up. I suppose you could say it's a personal project. Also, I would like to set up a basic knowledge of coding so I can begin to use scripts within my games. Currently I'm getting by in Blender without using Python, but my AI is severely limited.
