Title: Programming Help?
Post by: AllTheThings145 on June 04, 2013, 06:24:50 AM
Hello, I'm yet another newbie. I've done BitCoin mining for over a year now (so I know how to do basics), but would like to get into programming with BitCoin. I've looked around a good bit, but I can't find any good BitCoin programming tutorials or guides. If anyone around here could help point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated! :)

I know basic C,C#, Java, and server side languages.

Your going to need a bit more than the basics just look at source code for different coins, lots of functions!
If you understand the source code and how it works your set.

Thank you very much! This is going to take forever to go through, but I will read it all!

Is there anything other than source code that I can read? Like a guide or tutorial? I realize that this is a difficult subject and that isn't likely, but I just wondered.

Or maybe even just some general programming topics I need to know before I even try. ( I know I'll need to know public/private key encryption before I start)
