Hello. I am a programmer who wants to undestand bitcoin. I know that this is a complex subject but i want to start focusing in understanding P2P protocol. Do you have resources about how to implement a P2P network, for example, in pure C/C++ or Visual Basic 6?

Please, i want to look if the blockchain has a special page where describes it completely step by step. I know that source code is available for download but source tends to be complex if i don't have a first idea of what i should to expect from it.

Also, i want to start an open source project, but it will be academical. I want to learn how to handle communities in projects like this. It will not be based in cryptocurrencies because they are too advanced for my level, maybe a simple tool. The project is done. It is more a personal project than a real one, and i am also asking my real-world friends to join it, but this can take a bit of time, maybe more.

Found me in github.

github.com/enriquemesa8080

I want to signaling that i want to start mounting a P2P network because bitcoin is very complex to understand. And maybe P2P can have more resources where to learn.

Please, help me with free materials like online books or courses of universities, better if they are written sources because makes me more easy to consult.

Thank you, have a nice day.
