I googled "introduction to c programming" and this was the first

hit:

http://www.le.ac.uk/cc/tutorials/c/

If you've programmed before just about anything should give you

an overview of the language, it's syntax, datatypes, etc.  After

reviewing such material download the MIOS c skeleton and start

working through it referring back to the reference material as you

try to understand what you're reading.  Get the 'build enviroment'

set up and try to build the c skeleton without any changes.  See

if you can load it into the core.  Then try and write something to

the LCD.  Just stick with it...  taking small steps.  If you've

programmed before the basics of c will come quickly.  MIOS doesn't

require the esoteric stuff.

Welcome aboard :)

Hey if you find any links that you find you use a lot, please let us know.

Don't knock BASIC man! GW BASIC and 8088 ASM were my first ever programming languages hehehe Seriously though, programming languages are never all that different. You'll find that once you forget about using line numbers to refer to things, you'll be set, and you will be able to apply similar concepts to your C code.

So what have you got planned? :)

I am going to start off with a midiboxLC . I know it isn't for beginners , but I have a bit of electronic experience . And I have not been happy with what is being offered . Eventually i want to develop automation for consoles .

The journey begins.
