# Learning C

Learn C by pairing (mostly remotely) with an experienced C programmer.

Stated long term goal: to become fluent and confident in C, in order to

be interested, willing, and able to hack the perl core.

# Roadmap

A combination of pairing sessions, code reviews, home work, transmission.

## Pairing projects

* [Hello, World!](00-hello/) (0)

* Implement a [hashtable](01-hashtable/) from scratch (1)

* Turn the hashtable into a library (2)

* Implement a double-ended linked list with which you can "push, pop,

  shift, and unshift" items.

* Write a library providing the hashtable and double-ended linked list

* Write a custom allocator

* Bind to a C library using XS

## Homework projects (to review)

* Solve the [Advent of code](https://adventofcode.com/) [in C](AoC/)

* A list of [challenging projects](http://web.eecs.utk.edu/~azh/blog/challengingprojects.html)

## Learning tools on the way

* [make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html)

* [valgrind](http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/manual.html)

* [gcov](https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Gcov.html)
