Re: Learn C
>SOLARIS2.5
I haven't used SOLARIS and I'm not an expert on SUNs but from what I see
in Makefiles in packages and such people who program for SUNs (especially
older ones *such as we are likely to use here*) are taking pains to do it
K&R.
>C++ first
Yes, but as I said before you better know the nuts and bolts first. You
can do OOP in C very well actually. It's just that you have to be orderly
all the time. Look at X11 sources. X11 is a *VERY* OO programming paradigm
but it was written in C with callbacks and such. It also works blazingly
well.
C++ is better if you do app programming. Then you buy packages and you put
them together into whatever you are building. For most low-level system
programming tasks ANSI C with some inline assemby is just the thing. At
least on Linux and other small machines.
>learn system administration...
That's what I meant by shell programming.
