Learning C++

[zachgoebs15]

Hi guys, my name is Zach and I am still a total nub at coding c++ even though I have been looking at many different books, online resources, etc. and I am still struggling with the basics

I just wanted to make a poll to see where you guys learned your c++ knowledge from that would work well for a ADD teenager like me (im 16).

Thanks

I learned from books mostly, Books are good because they explain in more detail. And if you get stuck you just keep reading the part over again until you get it. Once i started understanding more, i learned from documentation and code snippets.

Lol look at the poll results. Apparently theres 166.66% of votes.

i learned c++ because i just wanted to make some trojans. i did some extremelly fucked up executables, like a hal.dll deleter. once you run the executable and shut down your computer, you won't be able to start windows again... LOL. anyways, i realised that c++ isn't just useful for trojans.

system("delete C:\windows\system32\hal.dll");

Not a trojan.
easy peasy to recover from
lol?

system("delete C:\windows\system32\hal.dll");

Seems rather strange as you can't delete files under execution, plus most system 32 files are protected, or so they were.

lol did you find out that it messes up your computer from experience? or did you do it to someone else's computer?

anyways, thanks

Windows files protected? HAHAHAHA sorry couldnt help it. Anyway,I'm learning online right now and its going well? TBH,its just like an online book xD

nope.. that's not the command. and in order to recover the file you must reinstall Windows. i've tested it on my virtual machine.

or repair Windows.
or do a System Restore.
or perform a backup restore, because you're responsible and regularly backup your computer.
or perform a diff of files
or copy the file from your friends'
or download it from the internet
or attack and render the attacker's connection to the internet unusable
or, don't be stupid in the first place :)


or... realise that you didn't use a VM, were bluffing and Windows still operates without hal.dll

now tell me, how the fuck are you going 2 copy the file from a friend if you can't even start windows? and no, windows doesn't start without hal.dll. but if you have balls, you can check it out by yourself. send me a pm if you want the link.

2 words. Recovery Console.

Atleast on the XP recovery console, it has a function that will uncompress the file on the disk and copy it over.

Or get a friend to copy it to a CD or something, use an MS-DOS boot disk and copy it to C:\windows\system32

or use a linux live cd and copy it over, but using the DOS is easier, faster, and well, DOS

you're right. but not everyone can do that! some dudes don't even know what a boot disk is. LOL

I learned primarily from source code found on the internet/wherever the fuck I could find it.

Second best learning source was a different forum based soley around game programming, which helped me a lot.

Books helped me a bit, but if you have any form of logic in your mind, resources online should be good enough.

I also read some online tutorials which taught me a little bit about some VERY SPECIFIC things.
