Greetings everyone,
I am looking to learn how to program in C and, more specifically, want to focus on how to do so with Wine development. I've already been contributing to this project via testing applications and updating/submitting bug reports and I hope to contribute even more.
As a developer, I've been professionally making Python programs for years now and I figure it's about time I really learn C. Ideally I will eventually contribute more of my time and code back into the Wine project. Beyond just Wine, knowing C should also help give me an edge on creating high-performance functions using Python's C API.
My question is: are there any recommended resources for learning C from the ground up and also using that knowledge to help with Wine? What are some materials that you have used to get yourself started with C and/or Wine beyond the Wine Developer's Guide?
I understand that learning C will be more of a gradual thing over the course of many years. And, like most things, mastery is an ongoing process. I am looking to get my feet wet so that I can eventually dive into the Wine development pool.
Thank you guys for any advice you can give to a newcomer!
Sincerely, Luke Short
