    i do enjoy reading my copy of the K&R book.. nostalgic.

    I bought another copy of K&R C, keep telling myself I'm going to load up
    a retro compiler and learn C again...


    ... What mistakes did you make last time?

    I created a Discord server for the class and have been tutoring
    students there when I have time too.

    I tutored a FORTRAN class with a particularly bad professor. Friends of
    mine would hang out after the class and I'd go over what he'd taught.

    And, thus, a handle was born. :)





    ... What is the simplest solution?

    I'm thinking of making a video series on programming in C and then later
    maybe C++. I've been reading a lot of (mostly C++) programming books in
    preparation for this project.

    <SNIP>

    I would be VERY interested in following this! Sure hope you're able to do it, and thanks!

    I know this is an old thread, but wanted to poke DM and see if he has given any more thought to this. I would be very interested in seeing it too. I mostly code in C# now, but I still like to code on some of my old doors (FREQ ROBOT, door games) that I wrote with Open Doors and Turbo C 3.0 and also use C in some ESP32 projects. I also have kind of made a hobby out of picking up old books on C programing from thriftbooks.com, mostly Borland C/C++/Builder books I used to own, but got rid of back in the day that I wish I hadn't of. Anything on coding in C is very intersting to me, so, DM you still going to do the series?

    Thanks again for all your contributions to the hobby,

    Lonewolf

    I think and hope to yes. I started a new job a few months ago and that's taking away more of my "free time" than I had before, but I do want to do it for sure. I recorded a first episode already a few months ago (a deep dive into the 'sizeof' operator) but didn't like the final result: I can do better.

    Thanks for reminding though!

    Thanks again for all your contributions to the hobby,

    Of course. I appreciate your interest in it too!
