Wow thank you for the long well written post, I wish I could upgoat more than once.

Ive actually worked quite extensively with C (sorry that I forgot to mention it in the OP) so I already understand the procedural and OOP paradigms, and the difficult parts of C++ kind of come naturally to me (passing by reference, passing pointers, generic data structures and methods, etc.). The main reason I decided to go with C++ was because I could (hopefully) make the program cross platform thanks to the QT GUI toolkit (I havent learned QT yet though, currently brushing up on the C++ syntax), and have my program benefit from being compiled and not a program which runs on top of a virtual machine.

C# is definitely a good option, but I kind of want to learn C++ at the same time because I already know C, and I would like to learn a language with a similar speed to C, but with a more extensive library like C++.

Amazing work. I often find that learning stuff on Linux is hard because of the lack of well structured learning materials out there (learn a thing here, a bit there, copy and paste there, do this without understanding how it works, etc.). Interactive stuff like this is very useful.

Maybe you will consider making a tutorial for other popular commands, and what to do with those commands once you learn them (ex: traverse file tree and use regex to find every file that includes a certain set of header files). just an idea if youre looking to take this further.

If you made this of course.
