Understanding and Using Make

make is a language used to express dependencies (via rules) and update methods (via shell). Make allows you to have a program (the make program) resolve the computation and compilation dependencies between, say, source-code files in a project.

C Tricks

This page describes some non-trivial usage of the C programming langauge. Covered topics include: standard idioms, preprocessor macros, unexpected syntax constructs. While not all the code presented can be considered an example of a good software engineering practice, stretching the boundaries of C will lead to better understanding of the language.
