C

I've posted this here before and it's what has worked for me an a few others who told me it worked for them as well. Ymmv. People sometimes struggle with C when they start from scratch or come from a higher to lower level of abstraction. I struggled with this for a long time till I did these things: I would not try and understand how the higher level abstractions translate to the lower C level. I would instead learn from first principles on how a computer works and build the abstractions up from there. You will learn how a CPU works. How the data bus and registers are used. How memory is laid out and accessed. The call stack and how that works, etc.. This will go a long way in understanding how C sits on top of this and how it's data structures like arrays and structs map to this and understanding how pointers work the way they do and why. Check out these resources: Read Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software Watch Exploring How Computers Work Watch all 41 videos of A Crash Course in Computer Science Take the Build a Modern Computer from First Principles: From Nand to Tetris (Project-Centered Course) Take the CS50: Introduction to Computer Science course. Grab a copy of C programming: A Modern Approach and use it as your main course on C. Follow this Tutorial On Pointers And Arrays In C The first four really help by approaching C from a lower level of abstraction (actually the absolute lowest level and gradually adding layers of abstraction until you are at the C level which, by then is incredibly high!) You can do all four or pick one or two and dive deep. The 5th is a great introduction to computer science with a decent amount of C programming. The sixth is just the best tutorial on C. By far. The seventh is a deep dive into pointers and one of best tutorial on pointers and arrays out there (caveat, it's a little loose with the l-value/r-value definition for simplicity sake I believe.) https://github.com/practical-tutorials/project-based-learning#cc Play the long game when learning to code.

Hey everyone! Recently, I decided to learn to use the C programming language. I had a few reasons for doing so: A lot of very good programmers say that learning C will help you be a better programmer While it is not used as much as it once was, it is still a very significant language, especially ...

On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge. If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options: Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or Temporarily refraining from using Reddit Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium as a way to voice your protest.
