Hi,

Has anybody got any good links to C or C++ programming documentation, i'm planning on learning (hopefully C) & would like some good documentation to get me started.

Regards,

Aidan

Aidan,

A company called mix software sells power "C". (www.mixsoftware.com). For $19.95 (US)
you get a 650 page manual and and a DOS based ANSI compatible c compiler. You can install the compiler. (I throw it away). The book is an excellent way to learn C programing. It has a 150 page tutorial section and 500 page reference section. The tutorial is a good way to learn C. The book's reference section contain many C functions that also include short working examples. The book is worth many dollars more than $19.95. I have bought power C 4 times. I have worn out 2 books. I have a copy at home and a copy at work for quick examples when I get stuck. I have not used the compiler for at least 10 years.

Aidan,

Fred has pointed out the Kernigham and Richie "Bible" for C, however I would counsel against using it exclusively. The newsgroups I have used for learning C will sometimes "flame" you for posting "K&R" code (code in the style of kernighan and richie). The content is absolutely technically accurate, however coding standards and methodlogies have moved on.

I learnt using this guys documents below, they are exceptionally good (this from a lifelong 4GL programmer!)

Best of luck! Ian

The last one I saw (a long time ago) was DJGPP. It looks like there are still links on google for a "djgpp" search...

Here's a link to djgpp and there's also some other links on the site to documentation etc.
