What do I have to do understand at least 30% of the source code? It looks really complicated to me.Check on the bottom of the FAQ page. It links to the source code and instructions on how to compile it.

For reading the source code it's maybe better to start with a type of program you've written before. For example, you probably have experience writing command-line programs, because most books teach those. In this case, you're in a good position to understand an open source command line program out there. So download one and try to build it. Then, look at the source code and see how it works. Run it through a debugger and step through any interesting sections of the code and see how they work interactively.Originally Posted by doCode()
Thanks! And any good n00b friendly resources for ncurses? I want to make a Tic Tac Toe game.
When reading the reviews of this book this partial sentence stands out:Huh! Nice.
So, will it be this one > Amazon.com: Let Us C (Computer Science) (9781934015254): Yashavant P. Kanetkar: Books ?
If this is true then this book is probably not worth the paper it printed on, I'd look for another book.it's still about 16 bit integers and turbo c/c++,

Um, Turbo, as in, 1990?
Yes.
That's dead now, right?
(Pls forgive my ignorance.)

There is this one for C programmers: NCURSES Programming HOWTO
Learn the basics from that manual. There are also many Python/curses examples and tutorials out there. The knowledge in the Python examples is mostly transferrable even if you're using the straight C library because the curses commands have pretty standard names and conventions in all flavors.
And if I'm looking for sample console programs in C, is Codeproject the right place?
Not if you live on the sub-continent of India.

No, Bangladesh. :-)
There isn't any place to learn programming here, as far as I know.
its only big enough to hold 1 char "kg", "lb" require 3 .
I suggest you take a look at this C Book list or read through the C book list at the top of this forum.
