Hey LG,

I want to get into programming a bit more.
I've always wanted too - to create nifty bots and etc...
But I always get stuck and end up quitting.
I think at the moment I do have the determination to carry on though.
I've chosen C++ as the language I want to try coding in for now, Since I'm learning it at college (will be again when college resumes).

Although at the moment we've only been taught the basic things in C++
(Took them a year, too. Covering shit like loops and functions managed to take them a year.)
(Fuck education =_=)

A quick search on how to send HTTP GET/POST requests using C++ has directed me to LibCurl.
I have absolutely no idea on how to implement said Libraries into my Visual Studio and then how to use said libraries.
I'm just at the moment trying to search for any decent tutorials which explains things in english and not what seems to be fucking binary on crack.

So, I wanted to ask you guys a few questions:

  • Is there any way other than LibCurl to send requests in C++?
  • Have you got knowledge in C++ and LibCurl?
  • If yes to the above - could you send me and tutorials that helped you when you were learning?
  • Also if yes to the question - mind if I ask you for help if I get stuck later on?
  • On a scale of 0-10, how hard do you think it would be to learn how to use LibCurl and C++ together to make a program?
  • How many times do you think my head will explode while trying to learn this?
