C

My notes on learnings C, in preparation to learn Rust. my sandbox https://github.com/friendlyantz/raspberry-pi-pico/tree/master/C/

I want to dive into Assembly and C/C++, before appreciating the Rust

Action Plan

• finish The C Programming book pass: 42
  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-_s8f5K30I
  • rather a historical book, and nobody writes this style of C anymore, but probably still a good place to start.

    Ruby + C pathways

• Ruby + C: watch this by Jeremy Evans - I believe he mentions this is a good way to get started in writing some C for Ruby https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_1iqQOkv1E
• Puma also needs some programmers as Nate Berkopec mentioned in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SquGNt4FhY0
• You could also look at contributions to something small like mrubyc, here is an example of what the idea of UTF-8 being added was like
  • as a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5rGatij0DE
  • and as code https://github.com/mrubyc/mrubyc/commits?author=ima1zumi
• or MRuby where Matz is doing a bunch of stuff https://github.com/mruby/mruby
• also you could write a gem in ruby that has an extension built in C using FFI (Foreign Function Interface)
  • like this for example https://github.com/tyler/trie
• finally follow what people who are active and good at C do like Samuel Williams - https://github.com/ioquatix - he wrote a C library for RedBubble to very quickly put images on 3D objects

  C++

  best book for learning C++ (according to Mike M)

• https://github.com/sheryllan/Notes/blob/master/Accelerated%20C++%20-%20Andrew%20Koenig%20&%20Barbara%20E.%20Moo.pdf
• some call it a bit out dated
• but it’s short and to the point
• Reddit says this book is still valid as a quick way to get up and going https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/7io26m/is_accelerated_c_outdated/
