Thanks alot for the response, a few minutes after posting I searched
this group and found hundreds of other threads about the same topic. I
apoligize as well for double posting, that was a mistake even though
I'm sure it must look like I tryed to bump my thread.
I wanted as well, to bring forth another concern that I have with
programming in general. Many people say that ACTUALLY PROGRAMMING
real-world programs is the best way to get better. That theory makes
sense, but when I sit down to write a program in java, I often realize
that I have mastered the sytnax and searching and sorting algorithms,
yet I cannot apply this to a real-world program. Are there any books
for C or websites that explain the analytical thinking or other tactics
involved in practical uses of C?
One great way is to analyse existing systems. You mentioned moving to
Linux : this is a great idea because you can compile and step through
existing apps with the debugger.
could we keep the platform bigotry down to a dull roar? Windows has
perfectly good debuggers available as well. So if you really want to
(I've never had the urge) you can "step through existing apps".
I've developed serious applications on both Linux and Windows. They are
both perfectly adequate. It is completly possible to develop
applications
on windows. For heavens sake Windows was *written* in C!
