C++ is one of the programming languages used by many.
It is always good to know at least one programming language...
I learned C++, but the University I went to teach us Java instead. It is similar in a way, so it's easy once I get the basic.

But what exactly would I use it for?

Published games have almost all used C++ for it's speed, you can also use it to do anything you want on the computer. VB, for instance is a RAD (rapid application development) compiler. It is faster to create programs in VB than C++, yet you don't have as much freedom (though VB.NET is converging into C++ it seems). D2 modules, hack-it use C++, and others.

Could anyone tell me were I can learn how to use my C++ skills on changing, hacking, and other stuff like that?

Check the source files on d2hackit modules.

Source is the worst way to learn, search www.google.com for C++ Tutorials. If you are going to look at source look at easier ones from www.pscode.com
