If you made it through the book and managed to do most of the exercises all by yourself: Congratulations! You have become a programmer. You have internalized the basics of dealing with any programming language, and should be able to solve most of the programming problems that you encounter in your career as a student or as a professional worker. If you need to learn another programming language, by now you have a solid basis to quickly get to grips with any other language. Even better, you have learned to approach problems like programmers do, which is a valuable skill that you will find many uses for.

Future editions of this book should have even more information and more interesting problems to work on. This will all be optional material, but if you enjoy programming as much as I do, you might want to check it out.
