been working on this for a few days.

Post by avansc »

Work has been slow, so i decided to write a smallish book on C. Started it with the idea of not really ever finishing, but a way for me to brush up on some things, kinda reading though my books and jotting down things i think new comers might need to know and so on. Its coming along better than what i expected.

Yes there will be many spelling and grammar mistakes, have not fixed many, and not actively trying.

Please let me know what you think, or if you have any suggestions. thank you.

Quite the ambitious undertaking here. Looks really good so far although I haven't had time to read through the whole thing yet.

Good shit so far. I really like the way you broke down the chapters. For the final version, I'd recommend higher quality code snippets without compression artifacts.

i think thats just the google docs doing that. because its pretty nice in my local pdf. but what i would really like to do is to have it be actual text, not just a pic of the code. but i dont know how to get the syntax highlighting. ;/. if i ever get to where i start talking about standard C functions and so on i'll probably make a little page for it and post all the code.

Ha i was joking with MDK saying that if you can pay some company 100 bux to print a few copies id probably do that just to be a douche bag. maybe even slip one in at barns and noble, have the price be like 99c. and id definitely have one of those douche-o-graphs on the back, where you see people with the distant gaze, in black and white. probably with a polar neck, with my chin resting on my fist thats clenching "mont blank" pen.. hahaha

edit: thanks for the compliments and suggestions btw, appreciate it.
