C Keys

written for a friend in late 1999

This paper covers some C programming areas that are very often missing from a basic introduction to C. It was written for a friend who is learning C and so has a somewhat tongue-in-cheek tone of pedantic-ness. The hope is that this paper points to some gaps that may be there if someone just learned or is currently learning C.

Emacs and Programming Tools in GNU/Linux

written for ALF2.0, Sept. 1999
