One thing that has helped me a lot in learning C code a little quicker is
having access to a HP9000 mini. It compiles very, very fast and only does a
core dump when my code goes whacko. I think that has helped reduce the time I
spend with the Amiga going through reboots. I've been using the PDC compiler
(downloaded from here) on the Amiga and, compared to my TDI/Modula-2 compiler,
it is surprisingly fast. I really recommend it to anyone wanting to learn C
code and can't put out the bucks for Lattice or Manx. While I'm on the subject
of good beginners tools I'd allso like to recommend "The C Programming Language
– 2nd Edition" by Kernighan and Ritchie. It gets to the heart of C very
quickly. It also uses much of the proposed ANSI standard in the programming
examples.
