The document is about a presentation given at OSCON 2008 on learning just enough C to work on open source projects. The presentation aims to quickly cover the basics of C in order to work on projects written in C like Perl, while acknowledging that C is very different from languages like Ruby, Python, Java and PHP that many modern programmers are used to. It begins with a simple "Hello World" C program to get started.

Just Enough C For Open Source Projects Andy Lester OSCON 2008
Why this session?
It's all for Michael Schwern Schwern is a brilliant programmer. An invaluable asset to the Perl community. He still doesn't know C, even though Perl is written in C.
My assumptions • You're like Schwern. • Already a programmer, but raised on Ruby, Python, Java or PHP. • You don't know what it was like in the bad old days. • You want to work on open source projects.
Goals • As much territory as possible • As fast as possible • Danger zones • Impedance mismatches
