Learning to programme OpenVPN

Post by innogen » Mon Aug 29, 2011 2:21 pm

Hi,

What are the programming languages that I should learn if I wish to be able to programme or edit OpenVPN and OpenSSL source codes?

I have checked the information indicated by your URL thoroughly and there is nothing in there that answers my question.

Could someone else help me out please?

the core of openvpn and openssl are written in C.
thorough network knowledge is requiref if you want to make significant changes to the OpenVPN sources.

Real programmers write in C.
People who think they can program write in C++
