Now seriously, you said you started to lern C++.

Let me put it this way: you are right now good enough at C++ to take a look at 
the konqueror/khtml/webkit sources and try to figure things out.

I mean this 100% serious. If you understand the basics of C++, a really good 
way to continue learning is to start fiddling around in an existing well-
structured project. Just get the sources and have fun ! :-)

I think Lydia <lydia AT kde DOT org> can help you with getting started with 
this. Contact her.
