- It seems that FALL is in the air and there are plenty of new C
- students. I have noticed quite a few questions regarding issues
- that are answered in Steve Summit's C FAQ. Grab a copy and check
- it out - it will really help ya.
-
- I also wanted to let those new C programmers know about a newsletter which
- is oriented towards C education. It is sent out each quarter and
- covers various C programming topics. It does have a small
- subscription fee now, but you will find it insignificant. (Please
- hold back the flames, it was free until my wife realized what
- it was costing us. :-( So, the costs cover expenses only...)
-
- [I told her, but I love C - she asked, "C what?".]
-
- In any case, if you are new to the C language obtaining interesting
- resources and taking the time to experiment will make your efforts
- pay off. There are other C newsletters out there too ... and even
- mags on the subject. The bottom line is to take the time and read,
- experiment, ask questions, and continue;
-
- My students are also excited. Which kind of energizes me. I just
- love it when a student realizes that a pointer implies a type of
- variable and not something I use to help my lectures. :-)
-
- Sorry for the use of bandwidth here...but remember, keeping the
- excitement going and _encouraging_ those new C want-a-be's is
- also worthy of bandwidth from time to time.
-
- The newsletter is sent via snail mail (hardcopy only)
- and all example programs are sent via E-mail or on disk.
-
- For info on the newsletter, please send questions to:
-
- rowe@netcom.com
-
- C YA! Rick Rowe
-
- ps. please be kind, flame somebody being hard on a beginner - I'm
- just trying to keep them excited. Ya'll know they'll need it!
