H@L0_F00 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I'm learning C, not C++, mainly for Linux and I was wondering if anybody knew of any Linux only C source code sites? Because What I'm finding is mainly Windows source or C++. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingwray Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 What areas are you looking in particularly? Because the langauge will be the same between the platforms, but there will be different libraries depending on platform. Linux Cross Referencer is a site I use a lot, but that is for coding parts for the linux kernel, which you may or may not want to be doing. I do recommend The C Programming Language book as being an excellent reference for both new programmers and programmers new to C, especially if coming from a Java or C# background.

H@L0_F00 Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 I'm *new* as in I started... Monday i think haha. I dabbled in VB '08 a while back but can't seem to get into it again lol I'll check out that book though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtterFox Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I do recommend The C Programming Language book as being an excellent reference for both new programmers and programmers new to C... I fully agree with this, "the c programming language" may not teach you every single detail but it does a great job in a very short book (compared to other programming books). Basically source code for linux and windows is going to be the same (they're both just C), you only really need to consider the operating system specific code if you're writing something that isn't in the standard (using non-standard libraries). So a site I looked at a bit before I got my copy of "the c programming language" is cprogramming.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going through there tuts and learning fast (i think lol). I've found some source codes and got "the c programming language" which I'm reading. Alot of the reading is boring though and I usually learn more from looking at source code + trial & error haha B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
