I am a veritable novice programmer, altho I have written a lot of Basic, (over 40 years!) and a small amount of Pascal. When I looked at C, I was basically told that C is obsolete, and I would have to study C++ if I wanted to pursue the language. So I bought a book, and I'm in the first few pages of C++. Is there, by any chance, an on-line tutorial in C++ ? Something you could access on a regular basis that would take you thru lessons? I may have to actually go back to physical school to learn this language, because there are a lot of things that don't make sense to me. (I don't know what I would do with it, since I'm an RF engineer, and I don't do any coding of processors, but everybody says that any coding nowadays is in C++. I used to write programs that would solve certain functions, like programming the numbers into a digitally controlled phase- locked-loop. (I would figure out the divide ratios, etc., and then give the answers to a real programmer!) --doug At 08:53 03/27/2002 -0500, Jerry Feldman wrote:
Just to add to the other comments. For the most part, Linux provides many of the standard Unix system calls. However, each version of Unix (eg. Irix, Tru64 Unix, HP-UX, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris), have many extensions. I have had my version of K&R since 1979, and learned C from it. The C language has changed considerably and is now covered by an ISO standard. There are many excellent books on C. I prefer those written by Harvey Deitel (a former professor of mine). If you stick to ISO (ANSI) C your C programs should be relatively portable across platforms. ISO C defines the standard C library (mostly described in K&R). Most C library and system calls are described by online man pages on SuSE as well as other Unix systems. But you can also look at the header files for some system calls.

Does anyone know about some good examples of C code programs / routines ??? I wonder whther SuSE kit comes with something of this kind. I only have the C manual by Kernighan and Ritchie. For writing simple C program this is sufficient. However for system calls it's not.
I remember all SGI UNIX (called IRIX) systems come with on-line documentation of each C library function and program samples illustrating how to use them.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
