C++ IDE Installed

I decided to install CDT tonight and begin playing around with C++. I haven't touched the language since my second year of college. Back in my day we used it as our base during Discrete Structures. I think now they use Java. Anyways, why do I want to pick up a new language? Well, cause I'm a geek. Not sure what my first project will be, but I imagine it will be something video related since that is what my focus is at work. Any ideas?
