"Hello World",

I am in 3rd Semester(1st half of 2nd year) studying Applied Informatics.
I knew some C and C++ before studying, but other than console oriented programs and solving some problems on euler project I didn't do much.

I found lots of projects on github but they were complex, I would need some time to understand how it's built up and how to code to finish it , hence I didn't even ask the author about anything, I would be more of a "delay-person"
to the project, rather than bringing a lot of use.

Questions :
1.Should I search further to find simple ones or what should I do ?(I'm a "desperate" student because I want to have some experience as soon as possible because learning university material won't make my CV prettier.)

2.If I could ask about personal experience : How did you start ?

Thank You
