Hello all,
I'm new to programming with C, I have always wanted to dive in and learn what I can and now I have.
I bought the book "Beginning C from novice to Pro" by Ivor Horton and German Gonzales, I believe it is the 6th edition of the book published in 2020.
The book uses GCC and also mentions Peles C so I decided to use Peles C as I'm not a Linux Guru.
I'm on the second chapter learning about variables and math operators and so far the learning has gone great. I did get stuck on a few things but was able to figure them out and run the exercise programs.
Just thought I would introduce myself and mention I'm no spring chicken, I turned 50 this year and although I have used some programming before, such as Python, C is a whole new world to me and the reason I want to learn is for self education and because I have always thought C an amazing language.
Sorry if I come back and ask many questions but I'm sure I will get stuck as I continue.
Where is everyone from? I'm in the USA
Hope everyone is having a great weekend

Hi Cb,
Welcome to the forum. Pelles C is an excellent well integrated set of programming tools. The help file is great too.
Be sure to get the sample code from http://www.smorgasbordet.com/pellesc/ if you haven't done that already, nothing
beats a good example, there are some in this forum as well.
You must know 50 is the new 30 :) I think it is never too late to learn, certainly 50 is not.
I think Pelles C has a worldwide members list, many seasoned veterans, and members with all experience levels.
Happy Computing,
John Z

John Z,
Thanks for the information about the sample code, I missed seeing those when I downloaded Pelles C.
