Want to learn something - kiro1997 - 04-08-2013
I want to ask you smth look in school we study about c++ but we're just studying for a math problems etc.. i want to know what i should start to study now from the forum if you could tell me some advice i really want to learn smth about programming,hacking,webs etc etc ..

Well... maybe you'll think this is stupid, but...
Do your best in maths. Mathematical thinking is a valuable asset in hacking. It helps you see things from different points of view, think differently, so instead of trying to solve a problem the usual way, you try new things - things that generally are not half as guarded. Best programmers and hackers tend to be brilliant mathematicians. There are exceptions, of course.

Thanks for your advice.
RE: Want to learn something - Solixious - 04-10-2013
I would suggest you to strengthen your basics first with all what is taught to you. They you can buy some book covering advanced topics on that book and use them to get the knowledge required to do stuffs you need. But you will have to be creative.
Cheers

I agree with Wisher and Solixious , you must learn mathematics very well specially number theory , statistics and linear algebra. Also you must clear your basics regarding whatever you are interested.
If you want to learn programming you can start with C or C++ , also you can start learning python as it is easy and yet a very powerful language. But in all these your mathematics has to be good which will enhance your efficiency in every field, hacking programming or networking etc .

Thank you... but i don't get the point what is the connection between C++ mathematics and hacking ...

Welcome to HackCommunity! I'm sure you are going to learn a lot in here.
P.S. Please write the text in the normal text size, there is a reason why it is the standard text size.

Do what you think is better, Everyone has his/her views and they are different. You're going to get confused deciding what other tell you but if you choose what YOU want to do the most and what you have interest in, You're gonna get learning quick so don't waste your time. Just follow your heart
If you have interest in a particular thing or subject then I don't think you'll find anything hard. For programming, being a beginner you'll learn things. I myself em bad at maths but hey, my interest in programming lets me being creative

The answer is: Problem solving.
You need some knowledge in math in order to program. It is not necessary for all kinds of programs. But it is for certain topics, algorithms as well as to understand what is really going on, why some algorithms are faster than others and why some algorithms even work the way they do.
You really need mathematics to write algorithms in: Graphics, cryptography, artificial intelligence, ...
But also some really basic algorithms, which you need for all kinds of programs need mathematical knowledge, i.e. permutations and combinations. You definitely need to know how to convert between numbering systems (i.e. heximal <-> decimal <-> binary) or you won't get very far with programming.
Hacking without programming might be possible as there are certain kinds of hacking which don't even require a computer; but if you really want to achieve something in the it securitiy field, you should learn how to program.
I agree with Ex094 that doing what you like most is the best motivator. You will soon discover your limits. You will probably recognize when you need to dig deeper into math. But then you have a certain goal, i.e. a project that motivates you.

basics are everything try to get a head of your lectures, and download ebooks from wowebook.com
