Personally I really liked this tutorial: http://www.coronadoenterprises.com/tutorials/c/index.html But since it's a trial it's only the first couple of chapters. Anyone know of any other (free) online/downloadable C tutorials in the same style (absolute beginner, lots of explanation, go step by step, keeping each step as simple as possible)? Thanks you
I think I can help you in this....... Lets go [link=http://www.programmershelp.co.uk/ctutorials.php]here[/link] and see what these guys got for beginners.
Thanks, that's great! Just what I was looking for; especially the article about pointers & variables is very welcome... A friend of mine says to just start with C++ and forget about C and all the low-lever stuff, and just use the routines provided. But I want to understand what I am/will be doing.
No Problem Man, it was just a quick search. If you want more, just tell me. I will try my best to find the beginners programs. Then I would say, go with C# as it is in demand now these days. (In NZ, dont know about other countries) I did C++ some time ago, its nice. May be more easier in Visual Studio.net. Are you using TurboC for learning.
I'm using something called LCC from a DOS prompt... and using Notepad for pasting and typing in the code. Probably I'm going to use C++ with KDevelop once I am good enough to program something useful (which might take quite a while). Will have to read up a bit more about Unix/Linux concepts too then, I think. I just want to get some of the concepts of C and some C experience in my head, then read some articles like the one about "C++ for C programmers" and start with C++. Somehow I think I can learn more with C because it seems to be far less forgiving.
a very good one is C programming.com - Your Resource for C and C++ Programming that has some good articles beyond that of normal tutorials, (AI and OpenGL) Personally I'd get a good book on the subject, that will be the best resource. Online tutorials only go so far. I also wrote a tutorial in the programming section (its quite old now), but its only for beginners. I use DevC++ on windows, it uses gcc as the compiler. I prefer it to VC, as it allows generic cross-platform development, code portability is better with a cross platform compiler. On linux, simply a good text editor like Kate (has c/c++ syntax formatting) and compiling with gcc/g++.
