🚀 Welcome to the WinAPI Wormhole!
Hey there am Nick and I welcome you as my Windows API adventurer!
You've just teleported into my WinAPI goldmine, you're the lucky few who've found me. Buckle up! Don't skip, read this first. Please.
================================================
My Background:
🕵️♂️ The Quest for WinAPI Knowledge
Picture this: There I was, lost in the digital deserts, searching for knowledge mines containing organized Windows API wisdom. 🔍
What did I find? Dusty ancient scrolls (aka outdated books and forgotten forums). 📚 That was painful folks. There was absolutely nobody willing to teach me WinAPI for free and I mean, how are we supposed to master operating systems without solid WinAPI resources?
I decided to venture into the seas of outdated documentation and cryptic Chinese forums to bring you this treasure trove. 💎
Why? Because learning shouldn't cost you that much effort. There should be somewhere you can just visit and get all of it. But there wasn't.
================================================
This repo is for all of you out there:
Struggling students 📚
Curious coders 🧐
Bootcamp dropouts 🏃♂️💨
Anyone who's ever yelled "WHY ISN'T THERE A DECENT TUTORIAL FOR THIS?!" at 3 AM 🌙😤
I've poured my blood, sweat, and tears (mostly tears) into this project. It's my gift to you - the next generation of Windows programmers.
Am 22 by the way(2024), and am in no way a master at this stuff. 🧙♂️✨
Am here to keep the flame of low-level programming burning bright!
What's in store?
💻 Colorful code: (WinAPI is often seen as black and white; I mention it, and someone already visualizes MS-DOS. And since you like sleep, colored and image-filled notes won't let that happen...)
📚 Notes that actually make sense: (I know, shocking! Clear notes, explained to the core.)
🎢 A rollercoaster ride through the weirdest parts of Windows that you'd never even thought existed.
================================================
Prerequisites and contributions:
C/C++ programming knowledge. (I already have a C repo if you don’t mind starting there).
A love for low-level madness, unless you're a framework fanatic.
🚫 Prohibited: Caffeine (Colorful notes need no caffeine; I promise you won’t sleep.)
🚫 No contributions needed! Unless you're feeling generous. I accept both pull requests, cash, and pizzas. 🍕
There's a lot of code and notes, I've tried my best to remove API's and stuff, but If I accidentally forgot any private stuff, please tell me. I'll get it fixed.
================================================
License:
🆓 It's all free and you can eat your money!
Fork it, clone it, print it out, and use it as wallpaper. Go wild!
Remember: Every master was once a disaster. Rome wasn't built in a day, neither does a good WinAPI programmer, and forget about your past relationship with CreateWindowEx() . 😂
Enjoy, my people!
Thanks for dropping by!
