I am probably not the best person to ask that, since I have been brute
forcing my way through - i.e. reading and debugging code without
consulting a manual. There are tons of resources on the net for coding
in C and since you already have 3 years of experience I am sure that
moving to ANSI C won't be too hard. If you have coded in JAVA or C++
then it should be a breeze. If anything you should read up on pointers
and memory allocation, because those two seem to catch most new coders
the most.
The GDB suggestion is also excellent. I have found it to be one of the
most useful debugging tools that I have ever used since it gives a nice
stack backtrace with line numbers etc.
good luck,

Hey Zach,
First off, thanks for your reply. Yours is the first one I got beside
the OUT OF OFFICE notices.
I plan on getting the installation up. I want to get down to Stack
level, but I guess learning ANSI C would be my first step, have your
foud anything useful towards this ?
Again I appreciate your input.
Thanks

I am in a similar situation, as far as the ANSI C goes. What has
helped
me is to jump in, find a bug and try to figure out what is going on.
Granted you might not be as lucky as me on your first try in finding
bugs, but trust me even if you don't there is plenty to look
at. I can
promise you it will be confusing and infuriating, but slowly
things will
begin to make sense.
Start by setting up a basic SER installation on a Linux box. Once you
get it set up and working then you can try out different features.
Don't be afraid to send messages to this group, I have found them
very
helpful and attentive to all levels of questions.
good luck,

Hi,
My company wants me to hop on to Linux/Unix from Bill Gates, and to
make it even better I am suppose to get upto speed writing
modules to
enhance our SER deployment.
What experience do I have writing in ANSI C "0", "ZERO",
"nada",
BUT, I have been programming for over three yrs now so the logic is
not an issue.
My question, whats the best way to start, I am currently going
through
the documentation on SER Admin, need to have a
plan.
I know no one likes newbees, but hey any help would be highly
appreciated.
Thanks
