BTW D3D stands for Direct 3D I believe.
CPP (C++) is the programing language. It allows you to code programs that would run on your computer. Using CPP you can access D3D, which would allow you to draw 2D Sprites and such or render 3D models/polygons on your computer.
Since this is a game hacking forum, D3D and CPP are the most commonly used terms so I wouldn't blame you for mixing them.
Last time I checked, you only need 1 language to make a program. Honestly, knowing more languages can screw you over. VB and C++ are very different, by learning VB first it took me a while to get used to putting a semi-colon after every command. Also by learning .NET first, it is very difficult to start grasping pointers in CPP for me. I'm still trying to understand how pointers work as in .NET everything is managed with the concept of "Give the programmer as little control as possible".

Thats all my interest for coding. And Im dedicated to doing this no matter how hard it is
