C and C++ are somewhat of a more challenging language for which I will have to acquire a taste. Do you know of any good tutorials on C/C++ programming I can start with?
I was just discussing (it was actually an e-mail correspondence) this very subject yesterday with the Director of Embedded Software at my work, and he said; "There is only one good book for learning C that I know of (
The C Programming Language (2nd Edition) (Paperback) by Brian W. Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie)"
I know that by some sort of unwritten code, hackers do not help others through the stages of becoming a hacker. But, I live in a small American town with one stoplight-actually, I don't even live in town. The pizza place doesn't deliver this far, and there is no bus route. I sacrificed the money for my car to get a computer because a computer has more career potential in my mind. What I am trying to say, is that I am not in a prime location for finding a meeting place for hackers. I just moved here and the most I have to be worried about is a redneck running me over in a tractor.
I think that's perfect; you have no distractions, you have lots of time on your hands for learning/research/experimenting, you're willing to forgo other niceties in order to invest in some hardware, and evidently you have a computer with an internet connection.
According to Eric Raymond's article, when talking to hackers, always treat them with respect. I don't know any of you personally, but I respect you for how you handle some of my stupid questions..
I respect you too Kevan for having the guts to stand up and voice your (not so) "stupid" questions. You'll never get the exact answers to your own questions if you rely on other people to ask them for you. We're all human beings, and actually quite nice people here, and we all had to start somewhere and also ask "stupid" questions.
