I already know C++, C#, and a little Python and C. I'm a CS major at my university, I'm just struggling with third party libraries and how to use them.

Which libraries? Or more specifically what do you want to do?

"Server Side Requests" can be either with a web server or writing your own implementation from scratch.

I'm attempting to write a server and client for Open Transactions.

I can get the general point to most of the code as I have been taking notes on it little by little.

It's just hard trying to figure out how his code works as he uses some unorthodox methods (at least that I have never encountered) such as:

if (pContract = (*ii).second) // if not null

When I looked at that piece of code it made me go WTF, but essentially it assigns a value to a pointer and if the pointer isn't null it executes the code.

I don't know if that is the "right" way of doing it or if it will cause issues down the line.
