is knowlegde of C++ enough for this program?

Expand Post »

Hi , I'm new to programming, I wanted to know if knowledge of C++ is enough to build a program that makes modifications in the system , like Tuneup Utilites program that repair registry errors, or check for hard disk failures , format it and check the mbr ...or it needs to know how the OS works and other stuffs!!

Second question is : using C++, is it easy to make your own scripting language like PHP !! is this correct ?

Re: is knowlegde of C++ enough for this program?

Q1: knowledge of c++ is only the beginning to writing a program like the one you posted. It also requires several years of very intense study of hardware and software

Q2: Depends on how knowledgeable you are in the field of compiler design. Many people with Ph.D have written their own but very vew were successful.
