I have lots of experience coding in C, but I've never had these books available to me until now. It's a very strong, definitive direction in my head. I've had these before and they always work out well. The first few pages of standard C library were getting boring, since I don't have all the background it needs to follow everything needed, but if that's what it takes to get boned up here, I'm willing. I have to take frequent breaks, which I'm using to clean up my homdir to get it looking more like the UNIX base directory. Those designations are really useful in a personal set of files. Getting everything cleaned up and in place; for what, I don't know yet, but I'm doing it. Copyright (C) 2026 by Bill Wear All Rights Reserved
