>grind & RTFM
Nothing is more true, as I start to relearn C after 20 years, that there is no substitute for the above. Literally, there is no good C tutorial or way to learn other than just writing some goddamn code and trying to make it compile.
- moron4hire 6y agoAnd then release your code and watch the people roll into the comments to tell you how you are doing everything wrong. Where were those people when I was trying to learn? Why haven't they written some God damn documentation? I know C lets you do whatever you want. I don't want to do whatever. I want to write software that is easy to maintain and doesn't fall over in a light breeze.
- battery_cowboy 6y agoExactly! I've started writing just for myself and I'm not going to even listen to people or maybe even never show my work.
- tempodox 6y agoThere is some helpful literature, though. You might possibly appreciate “Modern C”: http://modernc.gforge.inria.fr/ http://modernc.gforge.inria.fr/
- battery_cowboy 6y agoI'll check it out, thank you.
- battery_cowboy 6y agoIt's just what I needed, thanks again.
