hi.
i am looking for tutorials on programming. not syntaxt of languages but programming as such.
i would like to as my first bigger program to try and write a small commandline editor like nano. just more simple and i need some tutorials on how to write a editor in c.
i am studying c programming on my own and i do it only as hobby so i have no one to ask for adwise and help other than the few online forums i am registered at.
thanks for the time.
If you are wanted to create an editor I would suggest your C skills are pretty advanced.
As for tutorials, google is your friend, and look in the folders of your editor. For example, DevC++ comes with a more or less complete working example of an editor C source included to browse at your lesuire.
I would also thing platform dependant, some small knowledge of Windows programming could be a benefit too.
Double Helix STL
Always avoid tutorials (by noobs for noobs)
Buy (or DL) and read reference books.
If you're on Windows, a basic editor is made in 2 minutes (or 2 seconds by copying one of the MSDN samples)
A basic editor is not made in 2 minutes... Especially not without a GUI Framework.

i am still not comfortable using c or at programming yet so i was looking for as many tutorials covering programming and not syntaxt as i already have many bookmarks covers the basic of the c language.
i did learn some pascal a couple of years ago but just as i started to learn more than just basic syntaxt i got a four month long stay at the hospital and i did not really pick up programming before now again.
i learn all by myself and i have the books the c programming language and the unix programming environment and the art of programming by brian w kernighan and i have a book from wrox called beginning linux programming .
its all pretty heavy books that assumes some basic knowlegde and having learned some things like i suspect you can learn in computer class which i do not have any possible ways to find a place to study in a class or course .
i been looking for books or online material that covers programming techniques and is written for students or newcomers to programming.
thanks for the replies
