!42 - The Tutorial
Posted: 13 Dec 2014, 09:20
This tutorial deals with DllCalls and gives a more advanced insight into how things work.
Read it slowly and carefully, if you want to learn anything.
However this tutorial isn't going to look at the software sight only.
We will be getting pretty close to the Hardware level.
It also isn't going to answer every question you have - it rather gives you new questions to ask and will hopefully help you on your way to becoming a full fledged programmer.
You can look at it as a stepping stone that pushes you into a new level of programming.
That's reason for it's name !42: "Not the answer to everything and all."
Contents:
At first I'm going to give a very basic introduction that roughly describes how the computer you are working with works.
From that point on we are going to move on to the Software level, though on a very low level.
Following to this you can learn about Memory Allocations.
After that we are going to talk about Calling Conventions.
And finally we are going to conclude this tutorial by combining the new knowledge you just received with the DllCall function.
Before you proceed let me warn you. After you read this you will always wish that you didn't and still lived in a world where computers just worked
