I startet delphi first, i dont know why.

i like delphi, simple to use, simple coding (well, after the first 3-5 programs it gets simple Wink

)

Asm is pretty easy. I mean scanning is the real pain in the ass. Once you find the address(es) it is pretty easy to code it. And once you got coding vacs down you on easy streak. It's actually understanding the concepts that might be hard. Delphi is pretty good too. It's not like C++, wasm32, and that stuff where you start from scratch, but that is the good thing about it, it makes your life easier! Delphi is pretty easy coding I guess. It really doesn't matter which you learn first. But if you were to choose between C++ and delphi it would be C++ all the way!

Depends what you want to do, really.

Lower levels are better for cheating since they're impossible to protect. Higher level languages provide extensive libraries -- try writing a GUI from ASM and you might be here a while.

If you're going low, spend some time on binary (/hex) and boolean arithmetic first. Knowing why the nibble 0101 equals 5 and why a max value of 255 means an eight bit representation comes in handy sometimes. AND, OR, XOR, NAND, NOR, etc will throw you for a loop when unprepared.

Oh, and there's nothing stopping you from doing both. Disassemble Delphi programs and understand both representations.
