- Oh, yes -- none of us have anything better to do than pay attention to you immediately.
- +
- +Hello,
- + I've been programming for about 8 months, and I consider myself to be a
- +fairly advanced BASIC programmer.
-
- after 8 months.
-
- + I have decided that it's time for me to move on to something a little
- +more advanced. I'm going to take a crack at C.
-
- and you expect to become fairly advanced at that, too, since BASIC was so easy, right?
-
- + I'm looking for a good tutorial on the language. I can't afford one of
- +those expensive C compilers, and the only shareware/freeware compiler
- +I've seen is PCC, and it's too old and doesn't include any of the popular
- +libraries (graphics.h, etc.).
-
- so buy a book. you have heard of books, haven't you?
-
- + Since I can't find an inexpensive, full featured compiler, I'm
- +considering moving it down a step and learning Cmm (or C--) instead. Cmm
- +is the language developed by NOMBAS, that has the power of C, but is
- +easier to use (supposedly).
- + Anyway, can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial on the
- +web (preferably for Cmm), or an interactive tutorial that I can download?
- +My local library doesn't have anything on the subject.
-
- try your local bookstore.
-
- +
- + If anyone can help, please respond to ME DIRECTLY at:
- + merlin57@primenet.com
- +
-
- But of course. Your time is far too valuable to waste it in looking here for followups.
