How to get started with raspberry pi and c++?

Question

I would like to start putting my knowledge to use and start creating and inventing with raspberry pi projects. C++ is my preferred language. Any ideas on how I should get started would be appreciated.

Just do it, I guess - You should start getting familiar with controlling the Raspberry Pi using C++. IIRC, RPi runs on a Linux kernel, which you can connect to via SSH using a terminal application. Once you have access to the kernel, you can start playing around with the RPi features provided to you, like GPIO, I2C, etc.

I would suggest looking at the datasheet for the RPi first, and follow the manual / official guide to set up a build environment for the RPi (if one is needed).
