Title: Where is the f$%&*ing manual?
Post by: daacosta on August 10, 2006, 06:39:09 pm: Please notice the smiley face by the title of my post before getting angry at me :lol:

So, OK... I just downloaded and installed Code::Blocks under Win XP on my laptop with the firm intention of learning C

Can somebody point me towards a tutorial with lots and lots of screenshots (if possible) so that I can get started and be able to write the classical "Hello world" program? :)

I've looked at the help files of the program but most of the info pertains plugins but no tutorial...

Thanks!

www.cprogramming.com

www.gamedev.com

Sorry, but gamedev.com is fetched by a domain grabber as it seems :-( Are there alternatives?

That is a very good place to start and they also have tutorials on code:blocks 8)

Post by: scorpion007 on November 03, 2006, 05:58:19 am: Get a good book on C. Or two.

The C Programming Language (2nd Edition) (http://www.amazon.com/C-Programming-Language-2nd/dp/0131103628/sr=1-1/qid=1162529682/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-6127922-8681464?ie=UTF8&s=books)
A Book on C: Programming in C (4th Edition) (http://www.amazon.com/Book-Programming-4th-Al-Kelley/dp/0201183994/sr=1-1/qid=1162529738/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-6127922-8681464?ie=UTF8&s=books)

If you are learning C, then an IDE (such as code::blocks) is no place to start, however good an IDE code::blocks may be. Use a free text editor and get yourself a compiler. Being on windows, i suggest getting yourself a copy of MinGW and MSYS.

I've been there before, but I should buy their CD first right? Only the first (basics) tutorials (the first ones in every section in the tutorial part) I can download, but noone of the other I can view, read, download. I use Firefox, can anybody else read tutorials at that site?

Take a look here: http://www.sci.brooklyn.cuny.edu/~goetz/codeblocks/

It's a work in progress, but our students have found it to be helpful.
