Thread: Where to go from here?

Well, i've been working on C for 13 months (since Feb 2018) and i've kinda hit a stump. I was figuring on working through my third beginner book "C Programming Language: 4th Editon" by Stephan Kochan and I got to the fourth chapter and it seems a bit repetive (a chapter on Arrays). I understand the material. I think it's time to start coding more and stop reading this book, I was planning on working through the whole 545 pages and doing all the exercises, again this seems repetivive and would waste up my time. I really need to start a project. I understand all C keywords, and can refer to C Programming Tutorial while I start one of my projects.


I was wondering how to get ideas for a few projects. I coded a simple menu driven grocery inventory program that reads and writes items (to a text file) in my refrigerator, freezer, and dry stock back around Christmas 2018. Right now two ideas of projects I have are a body weight logging program (running on freebsd console compile with gcc) or a program that calculates timezone differences.


I dipped into asm for intel 64 bit a few weeks back, and started to answer questions out of a book. I also have access to a public library branch here in San Diego which has several programming books on ASM.

Also, I have yet to use a debugger (gdb on freebsd) 2.6. Debugging much.


Where to go from here?
