- Hi all....
-
- I'm wondering what C programming system I should use....please help me out...
-
- I'm planning to learn C over the Christmas holidays, and rather than download
- all of the environments for the Amiga, sift thru them, and then still not know
- which route is best for me.
-
- To help you help me decide, before I download, here's a little about me, what
- I am looking for, and my system's specs:
-
- I have programming experience in FORTRAN, Pascal, BASIC, and Assembly on
- various platforms, however, I have never programmed in any of them on the
- Amiga.
-
- I'm looking for a environment that is well documented, and includes numerous
- examples, so that ideally I won't *have* to buy a book on C. (I probably
- will anyway though). The environment need not have EVERY feature (the mother
- of all C compiler), but should be relatively complete, and standard. (In
- the future, at work, I will need to be programming in C, however it will
- be on an (yuck) IBM.
-
- I have:
-
- A500 - 1/2 Meg Chip, 2 1/2 Meh Fast
- Workbench 1.3
- GVP Impact Series II 52 Meg
-
-
- Thanks so much for your time...
