[Color Computer] [coco]Getting started in C programming....

[John Guin]

The best book I've seen (and the one that helped me the most) was called
"Moving From QBasic to C."  Printed in the late 80s/early 90s by SAMS, it
assumed you knew interpreted BASIC and approached teaching compiled C from
that point of view.  (QBasic was a BASIC interpreter that shipped with DOS.
And not to turn this into an anti-Microsoft thread, but according to Bill
Gates, the last code he ever wrote which shipped was the car race demo for
it.)


Super handy book and I very much recommend it.

John

Hello,

Get a book on C+ such as the C/C+ Primer then look for old reference books
for the 6809 and or OS-9 programming which you can still find and I believe
there are books on programming in OS-9 still available.  You will need to
research but when I program I just go back to the basics and work up.  I did
a Google search
http://www.google.ca/scholar?q=programming+in+6809+OS-9&hl=en&hs=9nu&lr=&cli
ent=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&sa=N&tab=ss&oi=scholart
and got these results.

Its not hard if you know where your coming from.
