Hi!

I want to learn a c programing on 9front. I know the basic about C (I studied it over two decades ago) and I've read some man pages, and some code. I started some little programs to do some basic things... Is there any tips or any guide to use to learn more about?

Regards

If you want to do graphical stuff,
Amavect wrote some nice docs:

http://wiki.9front.org/libdraw-tips
http://wiki.9front.org/programming-gui

Other than that, just make yourself cozy.
Use a generic mkfile in your src dir like:

</$objtype/mkfile
TARG = `{ls | sed -n 's/\.c$//p'}
BIN = /$objtype/bin
</sys/src/cmd/mkmany

so you can just touch newproj.c and have a
quick mk 6.newproj && 6.newproj cycle,
then hook it straight into sam:

^echo w; window -cd src 'mk 6.newproj && 6.newproj; rc'

add it to the menu with the new M command
and you have a nice tight workflow. Get used
to the conventions. After a few basic programs,
the traditional learner project is to write a filesystem.

I also use this script a lot:

(There's also mkmanymk for multiple programs and mkwikifs for wikis)

I'd say, start by reading the system documentation / papers, the intro
manpages, and figuring out what you want to work on, and then go from
there.

Basically, "just do it," but... figure out what you want to do, then
what you need to know to do that, then ask specific questions here or in
the grid or in #cat-v, and experiment and play around :)

This book is a solid intro to programming in a Plan 9 environment.

http://doc.cat-v.org/plan_9/9.intro.pdf

Covers some basic system libraries, how the compilers and linkers
work, touches on using acid for debugging, and a little graphical
stuff.

Besides the man pages and the papers in /sys/doc, the source code
itself is really good.
