well guys I scroolled down till a page named "What Now?" I will show you a fragment...

If you have worked your way through this book, you should have a good grasp of the rules of
C++. However, that’s just the beginning in learning this language. The second stage is learning
to use the language effectively, and that is the longer journey. The best situation to be in is a
work or learning environment that brings you into contact with good C++ code and programmers.
Also, now that you know C++, you can read books that concentrate on more advanced
topics and on object-oriented programming. Appendix H, “Selected Readings and Internet
Resources,” lists some of these resources...
so what is OOP? if I read another book that is about C++ and OOP(oriented object programing) will I be able to code for example a bot for an IRC or another kind of app alike?

Chapter 10 and up in C++ Primer Plus is about object-oriented programming.

Object-oriented programming is another way to structure your program using classes. If you want to read more about it simply google "Object-oriented vs procedural programming" (What you've learn so far is procedural programming).

And no it will not help you make an IRC bot. You can do an IRC bot either in OOP or procedural programming. I personally prefer object-oriented but what you'll need to learn for an IRC bot is how to connect to a server using sockets.

Anyway I strongly encourage you to learn object-oriented programming.

yhea, oop for the win.
Seriously, learn oop almost everything these days uses it.
