Hi all,

Does anyone know about books or other resources about advanced programming in PureBasic?
I sometimes see code I have no clue what it does.

Thanks, MrCor

Wrong subforum, also please use the search function/Google first.

There are older books. But not advanced programming,
The PB help is already very good. Also take a closer look ;)

Otherwise just ask here ...

If you search for advanced programming techniques in PB. Better look at the code of advanced programmers. All are here in the forum.
Search on Github for PureBasic. Many programmers published very good libraries.

To start with PB, I recomend to take a look at my PureBasic Extention Modul.
https://github.com/Maagic7/PureBasicFra ... dule_PX.pb

There you can find a lot of advaned programming techniques like:
- univeral Pointers
- Structure Union
- Some important Macro techniques
- Compiler commands
- Bitmanipulation
- Importing Linux system functions
- etc.

This module implements a lot of functions what are not directly integrated in PB.

If you are intersted in advanced Assembler integration, SSE SIMD commands.
Start with my Assembler Macro .pbi file
https://github.com/Maagic7/PureBasicFra ... Macros.pbi

I put always a lot of documentatiion in all my modules. Like links to the sources where you can find more informations.

If you are interested in more special things/problems, ask here in the forum.
For newbies in PB it seems that here is not much traffic. But PB Programmers are mostly professionals and do not need very much support. That's the reason for the sometimes very low traffic.

Easiest way to get ahead is just by trying new things and asking for help and if you've found some code on the forum you don't understand just ask the author, I'm sure they'll be happy to explain.
