SAMPLE OF THE TEXT OF THE C-TUTORIAL
Since C is not a beginners language, I will assume you
are not a beginning programmer, and I will not attempt to
bore you by defining a constant and a variable. You will be
expected to know these basic concepts. You will, however,
be expected to know nothing of the C programming language.
I will begin with the most basic concepts of C and take you
up to the highest level of C programming including the
usually intimidating concepts of pointers, structures, and
dynamic allocation. To fully understand these concepts, it
will take a good bit of time and work on your part because
they not particularly easy to grasp, but they are very
powerful tools. Enough said about that, you will see their
power when we get there, just don't allow yourself to worry
about them yet.
AND SO FORTH.....
HOW TO TAKE THIS COURSE
It is very simple to operate this course. Just download
1INTRODU.ARC, de arc it then read the text files with your
word processor and try out the sample source code in your
C-compiler. Then download 2STARTED.ARC, read it, and so on.
If your word processor is not very convenient for reading
ASCII files, then use any of the text editors in area P of
this BBS, or use the C program, LIST which is located here
in this area; PRINTEXT.ARC (There is a compiled version of
it, but it is much more fun to use the one you compile
yourself.)
I took this course about a year ago. I can't say enough
for it. And it was only $10!
What I contributed here was to regroup the text for lesson
one with the program examples of lesson one. The text of 2 with
the examples of 2 and so on.
This course is so slick you'll think you know C with only
14 hours (yes plan on about an hour per chapter) of time. It may
seduce you into a false sense of knowing, but I think that is
better than erring on the side of self doubt which is what you
feel when you look at a thick book or take a course but can't
spend the required 10 hours a week doing homework.
