As many know. I am teaching myself C++. I bought a great book called, "Sams Teach Yourself C++ In One Hour a Day. by Siddhartha Rao." I also downloaded a pdf version of a different C++ tutorial as well as a 76 part C++ tutorial video series I downloaded from youtube.
I had another thread started but that was suppose to be for only one question. I got a bit side tracked. So I thought I would start this one for all of it. Questions, lessons, info, etc.
So first I would like to start off with this. I just started with the books lesson 3. This one has more involved with it then lessons one and two had. So I am taking it a bit slower. I am also going to watch the video series during this lesson. Yes, it sounds confusing but I know how I learn and what it takes for me to understand something. I am far from traditional with any of that, lol.
Anyways. A link was given to me, http://www3.ntu.edu.sg/home/ehchua/p...sentation.html. Much of this stuff I never had the need to know or learn. It is not like I went into the grocery store and saw a price on an item that was 0x1C and had to quickly convert it to decimal or understand anything beyond base 10. I am also taking this one slowly to. This is all so new to me, and there is so much to learn, that I have to.
This got me thinking about binary. I understand that the computer uses binary. That hex is easier and compact representation of binary. So my thoughts started to drift to the very basics of basics. Electric, binary and computers.
I found these two links so far that are great. I still have some more to learn so I can connect all of this in my head. Honestly, this is fun to learn. I never thought I had a brain that could understand any of this. Who knows, my head might implode before I am done anyways, lol.

I never realized how old the binary idea actually was.
