Writing FreeDOS Programs in C

Jim is starting a new weekly "how-to" series to teach you how to write FreeDOS and Linux programs in C. Videos will be available to everyone on our FreeDOS YouTube channel.

Writing FreeDOS Programs in C

This is the general outline I expect to follow in the series. Specific topics may get moved around depending on how things go. Dates are approximate; if they move around, it should only be a few days.

Parts 1–4 of the "programming guide" will be open to everyone. Join my Patreon at the $40/month level to get access to the rest of the programming guide:

• Part 1. Let’s learn coding (general overview)
• Part 2. Introduction to C programming (#include, #define, main(), data types, operators, … and more)
• Part 3. Flow control (flow control and loops)
• Part 4. Functions (user-defined, standard library, and recursion)
• Part 5. Arrays (fixed-size arrays, pointers, variable-sized arrays)
• Part 6. Files (reading and writing files)
• Part 7. Advanced programming (realloc and getline)
• Part 7½. Advanced programming (binary, iteration shorthands, …)
• Part 8. Console programming (conio)
• Part 9. Putting it together (writing a turn-based game)

Patrons get more

I also have a Patreon, and patrons will get these extras:

• Early access to the "C programming" videos
• Exclusive access to the rest of the "programming guide" with more detail and information that didn't make it into the videos
• A weekly Patreon forum to ask questions about that week's "C programming" topics (if you are following along with the videos and need help, this is the place to ask)
• After the video series is done, I'll assemble the programming guide into a "teach yourself programming" book, via publishing partner Lulu. These patrons can purchase the book at cost—that's a big savings from the general cover price for a finished book
