Venturing back into C

-

After working in C++ for home projects that never go anywhere I - decided to get back to basics and write a utility that I have been - needing in plain ol' C.

reminder.d is - a cli and daemon (so far) that manage reminders throughout your day.

For the past two weeks or so I have been diving back into C + programming. I've found it to be a very fun and refreshing experience + coming off of a slog of Java 11 updates at work. I've found comfort + in its simplicity and frustrations in my "I can do this without an + IDE" mindset.

+

I started C programming in College during a 8 AM course of which all I + can remember is that it was at 8 AM. I loved programming in C, dealing + with memory, pointers, no strings, structs, no strings, linking, no + strings. It was a really interesting difference from the web and Java + programming I had done previously. Obviously the lack of the + "string" type made things interesting and initially a challenge + for me back then. In my most recent endevour I found char * to be perfectly suitable for every case I came + across. It was usually a separate library that was failing me, not a + fixed char array. This was mostly due to the types of programs I was + writting in college were text adventures where all of what I did was + using strings. And my lack of understanding of what was actually + happening in C was really what was causing all the issues.
