[Cialug] Learning the 'C' language

[Renegade Muskrat]

Drake has a C/Unix class. It has some prerequisites but if you already 
know how to program and just wanted to take the one class you could 
probably talk to the instructor and get in. I don't know who is 
teaching it these days though since Kopecky is semi-retired. You might 
even be able to take it cheap if you audit it, but i'm not sure about 
that.

I would be surprised if some of the local community colleges don't have 
C classes. They might be cheaper.

I know a smattering of other things.  All languages have similarities 
in program flow and branching.  A review of basic syntax and 
variable-types then a dive into 'C' uniqueness and data structures 
would suit me best.  Linked lists, pointers hash tables,  hmm starting 
to sound like a data structures class.

What I would be even more interested in is the environment around C in 
Linux.  GCC and make and the C libraries.  ...  The stuff you need to 
know to contribute to a project.  Malloc, threading.

| Really just plain C, but maybe C++ if that's all there is.
Do you want to learn C for credits or programming?
What other programming languages do you know?
