C help

Postby RefractedAhav » Tue Feb 24, 2004 10:44 am

I would like to teach my self C and then move on to C++, but I have trouble with most of the tutorials out there on the web. When I am learning something new I like to learn how to do something usefull with each step. I am better with project orented lessons than I am with just learning little bits of something. Could anyone help me, please?

Practical C or something like that.... look for it at your library (hopefully you have a good library).... I had borrowed it a while back, and it's a pretty good learn, it uses real examples and doesn't bother with some of the strange things that they teach in other books (the programming is designed to be clear and understandable, so that you can edit it later, or others can if need be rather than trying to save a few keystrokes).

I'll try to remember to take poke around and see if I can get some more info on the book for you, I'm sure it's out of print by now, but you never know.

I started with "Certified Course in C" which is published by the Waite Group. Each chapter is set up in a lesson plan format, and the accompanying diskettes also have a number of exercises that you can work through. It's a good book, and the one that I still use as a reference/refresher despite having bought it 9 years ago.
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

If you are serious in programming in C/C++, I recommend that you get the famous book, "The C Programming Language," by Brian W. Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie. Use this book for reference after you have started to get the hang of C.

I am very familiar with C and C++. I don't mind answering specific questions on these languages.

Thanks, I'll try to look into those books. Right now I have no specific questions because I don't know enough about programing to know what to ask. If you have any tutorials simple enough for a beginer, please post or a link to them here. I really do apreciate the help.(now only if I could learn to spell.... :sweat: )
