This is a great idea!  Anyone interested in learning C on the Amiga should join this group.  No prior programming experience is necessary.  I'll definately be there as a mentor for anyone who needs a guide so you won't be left out in the cold.

Why not C++? C is inferior.

Because C++ is much more complex than C.
Because C++ is based on C (learning C++ is easier after C).
Because most of the software is written in C still.

Although I am myself too busy atm to help with this project I welcome the selection is C. Good choice.

Joined there... just in case I can offer some help :-)

There are also two other interesting Amiga programming groups:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amiga-c
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MUI

amiga-c is bit more like "pro" but it is very good list for beginners too.

There are good message archives in those both lists.. Don't forget search option there :-D

I wonder how much my SASC 6.50 would go for these days. It's a whole C programming kit for Amiga.

Cool idea.

Why is it in the 'basic' area?

Experts recommend that a person with trouble sleeping practice Orc slaying techniques including gut trashing and beheading. These techniques reduce arousal and keep the sleeper’s mind off the sleep problems.

@thread

Good luck with the learning. I applaud you choice of language. Contrary to most people's initial experience, C is actually quite logical and easy to learn once you get to grips with the syntax.

I wish I could devote some time for something like this, but I wish you all well.

10 PRINT "HELLO";

printf("Hello, world!");

cout << "Hello, world!" ;

Is it strictly Amiga only? I'm Amigaless at the moment but I'd still like too learn C in a group.

The majority of the language is cross platform so hopefully there shouldn't be a problem.

Anyway, I want to learn programming so I can develop for the Amiga.

I'm trying to learn C though not on AmigaOS, at least not yet/considered it/sort of thing.

I'll get me coat :-)


... I tried to learn C once, off a guide on the net.  They got the "Hello World" code wrong.  I kind of gave up after that for a good long while :-)

I've now got a couple of books on the subject.  I've yet to read them, but... :-)

I'm sure this would be good for other platforms too.
