Assuming that software always has to be compiled…

Who compiled the first compiler? And how?

Using Google Search as a calculator is a commonly known feature. One guy (or girl) discovered that this function can provide also wrong results. If you let calculate Google the following subtraction, it will fail:

399999999999999-399999999999998

Funny fact, I just wonder how this person figured that out… too much time? ;-)

Darina and me are beginning to learn C for diving into professional programming. First we are collecting some sources to get a basic knowledge about how to learn the programming language C. We decided for C because Darina has already knowledge about it and it is a bit easier to learn than C++ or Java. But provides more possibilities than Pascal ;-)

Here is a short list of resources and C tutorials (will be updated in future):

• C programming Tutorial from cprogramming.com
• C Language Tutorial from physics.drexel.edu
• C Video How to’s from apex

In a future post we will write about the requirements for developing in C and we will provide further tutorials and howto’s.
