Arguably, Microchip’s PIC microcontrollers do not get enough posts here. One of the drawbacks for some of us is that Linux support for PICs is not very well known. The information is out there, but no ...

Linus Torvalds once said, in reference to the development of Linux, that he “had hoisted [himself] up on the shoulders of giants.” Among those giants, Dennis Ritchie (aka dmr) was likely the tallest.

Separating interface from implementation has many practical benefits. Here’s a simple way to do just that, in ANSI-standard C code. How do you organize medium-sized or larger C programs? Few C ...

What just happened? Rust will soon be part of Linux, Torvalds has decided. The memory safe programming language will join C and the other traditional languages developers use to create new pieces and ...

Dennis Ritchie started developing the C programming language (Fig. 1) in 1969 at AT&T’s Bell Labs. In 1972, Dennis Ritchie and Brian Kernighan delivered the quintessential book, The C Programming ...

My friend wants to start game programming in Linux (specifically Ubuntu 9.10). He already knows C++, but he wants to start making 2D and 3D applications. I told him OpenGL was the best way to go; is ...
