Bot making

scrapy is great framework

Trying to create a full bot in c++ if you don't have previous experience with it will not be very easy.

I already know a lot of python and have scraped almost a million webpages with that, but can't create a decent mobile application even for myself, so I tough I should go deeper.

I read that the games are mostly written in c++, and it's used to create drivers for hardware and so on, so I decided to try c++. But started last week, no warm start over in c#

Thanks

Nice that you want to learn programming dude. Its a nice skill to have these days. I like python a lot. do most stuff with it. So i dont know your skill level in programming. But first learn one language complete and than go over to the next. If you re understanding programming in general you will be able to learn a new programming language in about 6 weeks. And than you can do what ever you want. For mobile apps you have so many plattforms that give you a kickstart. First define your goal. Look for already existing code or templates or examples related to your project. Reuse that code and than look what else is to do. Than you can decide to learn a language like c# and build apps with xamarin. Starting projects like games from scratch are hard to finished if your re a one man company. Dont missunderstand me. Its not impossible or any magic, but there are so many things you have to do. If there is an helping hand in form of a framework or a service than take that hand.

If you want to learn a language take a book to get an idea of the basics. type any code of this book and make it run. look for code online and get an understanding on how do other existing coders do their stuff. get an understanding of coding in general. look for existing things. to get started real coding , find a small project and make it finished. it is an important thing to get things finished. so dont start with the big things at first.

this was advices from two expieriend programmers that worked for me. i follow these advices since today.

There is no reason why to torture yourself with C++. When I was younger, I also thought that using C++ is something that makes you a professional programmer. Today I try to avoid using C++, because it makes you much more work. Nowadays there is no reason to use C++ over something like Python. It barely gives you 1% better performance.
Use python. You can run your Bot on Mac, Win, Linux and even on a Server.

I disagree with that. c++ is an awsome language to know and handle. Can i ask you for skill level or expierience in programming in general. In my opinion when you can code in one language you have almost done the hard part. I started with python to get an understanding of coding in general. this helped me a lot for other languages like java and swift. its easier to get in, because every programming language has its libs and frameworks for doing stuff. for example you can do website coding as well in c++. https://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt.

I started coding in 2010, and know most of the common languages (c/c++, java, swift, python, ruby etc.). But why should I use C++, when I can achieve the same result with a "modern" language, and only writing half of the lines?

in that point you re right. but before it sounds like you mean that c++ is not worth to learn. but you know what you say when you can code in all that languages. so thanks for your opinion my friend.

I also wouldn't recommend C++ as a starting language. It is just too complex. You should start by learning the basics of programming, like if/else statements and loops.
As suggested, Python is a great language for this matter. It also is pretty good for making bots, the only downside being that it can be a little slow, but if you are far enough to have speed as an issue, you will probably know what to do next.

I think you need long time to learning C++. I know the base of C++. this programing will help you to make your choiseble things
