A final note

From time to time I receive EMail from people who ask for training / tutoring / help in learning to program (frequently in the C language). These requests are almost always very kind messages heart felt requests for assistance.

NOTE: If you were asking about programming in general, start with the C language. Start with the references found on this page.

I wish I had time to help each and every requester, but I do not. If you have been referred to this page my me, please understand that I not ignoring your request; I simply do not have the time and energy to honor each request personally. I created and I maintain this page for you in the hopes that it will help.

Best wishes,
