Programming with C

Introduction

Regards from the authors: Rikard Fröberg and Henrik Sandklef

Before reading this book

Requirements

This book assumes you have access to a computer with a terminal capable of (and configured to) running bash (see installation instructions). The focus will be on developing C applications using the command line and an editor. It is possible to use an IDE for the exercises but the exercise instructions will focus on instructions for creating, compiling and running the exercises from the command line. Of course, it is also assumed that you have a C compiler installed.

You don't need to install anything right now. As soon as the book requires you to use a computer with any of the tools above we provide installation and setting up instructions.
