Yo people am confused, am learning programming from the ground up but stuck at learning about os programming. Which is more important to learn windows api, system calls or interrupts??? And also if i were to learn lets say for instance windows system calls would i have to relearn a different set of sys calls for another os eg. bsd, mac, linux???
   
 
 
 
 
   

 
 
Oh yeah i almost forgot, but how do dynamic link libraries (dlls) come into play???
 
if u want to write programs for multiple operating system. i suggest that u use Java. u can write once and run anywhere using java.
 
but writing a port scanner in c is kinda more efficient and easier than writing in java. Currently reading about windows api and that confusing as hell
