    If by "professional" you mean completely joyless and devoid of humour, and with all possible humanity bleached out, well -- have fun at work today, you really shouldn't be using this unprofessional crap. I am sure there are plenty of sterile, labotomized alternatives around to choose from.

    RMS has acknowledged a fondness for puns, nb.

    C programming resources:
    GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
    The C Book -- nice online learner guide
    Current ISO draft standard
    CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
    3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
    cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge

    Ahhh, come on cpjust. Humour is fairly important in life... And, really, strfry might even be useful for those too lazy to actually code their own shuffle algorithm. And memfrob... Well, okay, that IS completely useless.

    I think, however, that all hello world tutorials should be changed into this:
    Code:
    #define _GNU_SOURCE
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <string.h>
    
    int main()
    {
    	char hello[] = "Hdellloorw!, ";
    	strfry(hello);
    	printf("%s\n", hello);
    }
    It may print hello world every once in a very long while.
