Here's a very good guide to programming in C++: C++ Beginner's Guide.

Re: IDE question
 

Yeah, but, JKA isn't written in C++

Re: IDE question
 

Yup, Razor's right. JKA is written in C. Here's a tutorial for C that looks pretty decent:
Cprogramming.com Tutorial: Introduction to C

Re: IDE question
 

oh thank you thank you tutorials, oh and i found the .exe file for visual studio so basically all i have to do is learn to get used to the program, because mainly i dont want to create my own source code i want to translate programming language to human readable language, IDEs do help me do that right, they do have a decompiler along with them right ?

by the way these tutorials will help me understand C and C++ language to the point in which I will know what the language actually reads out in human readable ?

Re: IDE question
 

There's an intro video on msdn: Introduction to Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition
(assuming that's the version you got).

I haven't checked it out myself, so I don't know if it's really that helpful. Worth a try, I guess.

BTW, I don't think there's a decompiler included. Why would you need one, anyway? Thing is, if the source code is not published, decompiling / disassembling (aka "reverse engineering") is actually illegal AFAIK. Also it's pretty advanced stuff, you will have extreme problems reading decompiled / disassembled code.

Re: IDE question
 

but i thought dissassembled code would be turned into english/human readable

Re: IDE question
 

Not really. Trust me, reverse engineering is not something you want to do at the beginning of your programming career. Just concentrate on working with published source code, like with the JA MP SDK.

Re: IDE question
 

^Which is almost perfectly humanly readable, and you'll get a grasp for computer logic and how things work internally.

I'm only just starting to learn Assembly (The machine code you get after reverse engineering) and I've been programming for probably about 2 years, so try not to get ahead of yourself =P

As I said earlier, feel free to ask questions, we're here to help if you're willing to help yourself too.

Re: IDE question
 

ok well can i ask what programming language is this ?

2\B + Ç  +  É3A - ¯aÑ+ Ç? - FA¯aÑ+ Ç? - FA¯aÑ@ Ç? - ¯aÑ@ Ç?=æ|　　　　dæ|P8C 2
+  ¦8C + ¦8C + 2\B + Ç  +  É3A - ¯aÑ@ Ç? - FA¯aÑ@ Ç?¯aÑ+ FA A Ç?¯aÑ+ A Ç?=æ
:confused:


by the way about decompilers do they only work for specific programming languages or for many ?

and when you mean source code being published do you mean released to the public ?

Re: IDE question
 

I can assure you that that is not any programming language. It looks more like a binary file opened with a text editor. Where did you get that?

Decompilers don't give you the original source code of the program. All of that is lost in the process of compiling.
