I don't know whether your teacher will be a "command line weenie" or not, but I think the best way is to get a tool that will reveal a bit of the language to. Download eclipse 3.2 (its a java development environment with a C/C++ plugin) from http://www.eclipse.org/callisto/c-dev.php You will also need GDB
Figure out how to start a project and write code. The chief advantage is that rather than using "printf" to debug your programs you can easily step through them and observe the flow, and values of all variables as you go. Cuts down the learning curve. Good luck... wcn _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
