Those books are a good REFERENCE, there is no way that any human could
learn "C" or "C++" in 21 days. You may learn a little, but you will forget
it almost instantly! All you can do it sit down and mess with it. That is
the best way to learn anything. Like I said, use this book as a reference,
like this list.
as far as installing the rpms, I'm not sure about this, but I think the
compiler is installed by default, you have to choose to install the kernel
development package, I think, to get the kernel info. Here is what I
started out with in my computer networking class in college.
-----------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
voidmain( void )
{
printf("Hello world\n");
}
___________
Just copy that and paste it in a file called yourfilename.c and save it in
the vi ( or like ) editor and then compile it by getting to a prompt, type
cc yourfilename.c and it will start compiling it. Depending on your
computer, the time may differ, but with small thing it will compile
instantly. It will make a file called a.out, just type a.out and voila,
your first "C" program. I haven't gotten into "C++" very much, I'm still
learning advanced "C". Have fun programming.
