Hello sirs....
I am interested in learning Programming for building security softwares n security systems .....anything security.....
I also want to learn hacking.....!.
.
How do i go about it?...i need advices n suggestions...
I was forced into web dev and i had started learning but i backed out cos i wasnt just interested..
This is what i'm interested in...
Help!!

You want to learn how to program a

Help!!

But you backed out of web programming because you think its too hard for you, but want to learn how to program security software like trucrypt, etc.
Me kinda confused, But me think your seconds are numbered in the programming world.
If web programming the simplest level in programming is too hard pick knitting!!!

Did you read my post??.
Did i say its too hard??..i said i wasnt interested in it....i was forced....
I already know html,css.....i wanted to start learning php when i just felt i should follow my heart!

Then follow your hearth......if you could lost interest learning PHP, what will you do learning Java?

Are you ready to help?

i asked sumfn n ur replies r just different from d kwstn

Okay Me sorry if me talking out of context.
To the koko-below now, what do you want and how may I be of help?

Lol...easy on the lad bro!

@OP as a starter in programmer as you said..you shouldn't have backed out of php.....you dnt need to go deep into it, but just know it, you could even learn python too, they are all pretty clean and easy and will. Set your mind right to programming.

Good enough, you know exactly what you want so just go for it...I am not sure but I think you will need to learn C#, C++, .NET and all those.

Go through this! Will help you.

what i'm saying is,if i want to learn how to program security stuffs,is it the normal languages e.g c,c++,java,python etc that i'l learn or there r some special points i need to knw or perhaps special languages that r only used for security stuffs!!

do u mean becoming a cracker? you dont want to be a hacker if u re ever going to think of breaking through firewalls. anyway for my advice, give phyton a first shot.[color=#990000][/color]

If you don't know any computer languages, I recommend starting with Python. It is cleanly designed, well documented, and relatively kind to beginners. Despite being a good first language, it is not just a toy; it is very powerful and flexible and well suited for large projects. I have written a more detailed evaluation of Python. Good tutorials are available at the Python web site.

I used to recommend Java as a good language to learn early, but this critique has changed my mind (search for “The Pitfalls of Java as a First Programming Language” within it). A hacker cannot, as they devastatingly put it “approach problem-solving like a plumber in a hardware store”; you have to know what the components actually do. Now I think it is probably best to learn C and Lisp first, then Java.

There is perhaps a more general point here. If a language does too much for you, it may be simultaneously a good tool for production and a bad one for learning. It's not only languages that have this problem; web application frameworks like RubyOnRails, CakePHP, Django may make it too easy to reach a superficial sort of understanding that will leave you without resources when you have to tackle a hard problem, or even just debug the solution to an easy one.

If you get into serious programming, you will have to learn C, the core language of Unix. C++ is very closely related to C; if you know one, learning the other will not be difficult. Neither language is a good one to try learning as your first, however. And, actually, the more you can avoid programming in C the more productive you will be.

C is very efficient, and very sparing of your machine's resources. Unfortunately, C gets that efficiency by requiring you to do a lot of low-level management of resources (like memory) by hand. All that low-level code is complex and bug-prone, and will soak up huge amounts of your time on debugging. With today's machines as powerful as they are, this is usually a bad tradeoff — it's smarter to use a language that uses the machine's time less efficiently, but your time much more efficiently. Thus, Python.

Other languages of particular importance to hackers include Perl and LISP. Perl is worth learning for practical reasons; it's very widely used for active web pages and system administration, so that even if you never write Perl you should learn to read it. Many people use Perl in the way I suggest you should use Python, to avoid C programming on jobs that don't require C's machine efficiency. You will need to be able to understand their code.

LISP is worth learning for a different reason — the profound enlightenment experience you will have when you finally get it. That experience will make you a better programmer for the rest of your days, even if you never actually use LISP itself a lot. (You can get some beginning experience with LISP fairly easily by writing and modifying editing modes for the Emacs text editor, or Script-Fu plugins for the GIMP.)

It's best, actually, to learn all five of Python, C/C++, Java, Perl, and LISP. Besides being the most important hacking languages, they represent very different approaches to programming, and each will educate you in valuable ways.

But be aware that you won't reach the skill level of a hacker or even merely a programmer simply by accumulating languages — you need to learn how to think about programming problems in a general way, independent of any one language. To be a real hacker, you need to get to the point where you can learn a new language in days by relating what's in the manual to what you already know. This means you should learn several very different languages.

I can't give complete instructions on how to learn to program here — it's a complex skill. But I can tell you that books and courses won't do it — many, maybe most of the best hackers are self-taught. You can learn language features — bits of knowledge — from books, but the mind-set that makes that knowledge into living skill can be learned only by practice and apprenticeship. What will do it is (a) reading code and (b) writing code.

Oh.....Thanks a lot
