Question about programming languages

[Namikos]

HELLO , I have a question about programming languages.

Like if I want to run and code my own p server project what languages should I learn

Another question is:
If I learn a lang for eg C# does it make me able to code a pserver ?
I mean a lot of people can code ( co p servers) but when it comes to another project using the same programming lang they can't understand a thing

Waiting Your answers
Thank you,

Thank you,

That's because they don't know how to code and pay other people to make source modifications, then sell "fixes" around for people who can't make their own fix. Yes, that's a drug reference. If you're serious about learning a programming language, then I'd suggest C# simply because a lot of people here use C#. Though, when you get proficient enough with a language, they're all pretty similar - so you can always pick up more languages.

Ofc I'm serious about learning bcz "copy and paste" won't lead me to anything so I won't start a project until I learn
Thank you for your help and your fast answer

C# is a great first language. Its versatile, msoft is doing awesome stuff with it, and 90% of the public sources are made in it.

Edit: Do not jump straight into a server. You will most likely get overwhelmed and end up quiting. Start of with learning the basics, then branch out into sockets, threads, databases, byte manipulation, etc

Once you can do that i would take an existing source like redux (heard this is a good starter) and add some features to it and learn how it works.

Good luck!

Okay Got it thank you
What about packets sniffing do I need to learn another programming languages to do it ?

You can do packet sniffing in any language. You will need to learn how analyze them though (4 bytes gives an int, 2 a short). Also need to learn about byte order (conquer uses little endian). And finally you need some reverse engineering experience to hook the clients send and receive method after decryption and before encryption, or code a proxy (waaaay more work as you have to reverse their encryption).

Reverse engineering isn't a requirement unless you want a complete source with all features programmed. You can always look at other sources as references rather than referencing the client.

Best of luck with your learning. Aside from just Conquer coding, the tech industry is wonderful to work in!

Some people like it, some people don't.



I feel so bad for this guy.
