This is more or less what I gave as the PRE-W2L lecture this year, and I
think it went pretty well (not 90 people, but there were quite a few). I
basically used the Meir Maor's slides from two years ago about devtools
for students (it did not make it into the W2L in Haifux this year, and
hence was not promoted). Missing sections:
*Working with headers, can be taken from slides 29-32 from "C
without a spoon"
( http://haifux.org/~ladypine/115-sil/cc/C_without_spoon1.pdf ).
*gcc's important switches can be taken from slides 44-45.
*The part about ddd can be taken from Shlomi Fish's updated version,
which he gave this year at Telux's W2L.
