Helpful Web Sites for C, C++, Emacs, Vim, etc.

• Standord Essential C - tutorial on C programming.
• Emacs hints & cheat sheet - if you forget the basic key combinations.
• Emacs tutorial for beginners - if you want a step-by-step guide to using emacs.
• Vim tutorial for beginners - Vim is the major alternative to Emacs (nearly all serious systems programmers use one or the other). If you grow tired and frustrated with emacs, give vim a try. But beware: while emacs will drive you batty with command-shift-meta-whatever key combinations, you will probably find vim to very unusual at first. So you should read a little about it before even trying to run it.
• A good step-by-step C++ tutorial. There is a book too that I have heard is pretty good.
• A rather dry but clear and concise C++ tutorial.
• Extensive C++ Reference - contains exhaustive details about most every C++ library, function, operator, etc. that you will encounter in this course.
