I'd add to that list:
Learn to write makefiles,
Learn to write Configure scripts,
Learn to write project files.
All of these when written well make installation of packages by others on other
systems easier.
Of course over-arching all of this is knowledge of how to use a revision
control system and using it for the project. Makes stealing working code from
older versions so much easier.

Subject: Re: C interpreter
Hi. I can not imagine learning something like C by using an interpreter similar
to the Python interpretor for example. With Python it makes some sense since
Python has list comprehensions like:
[x for x in range(10) if x % 2 == 0]
which will produce a list of even numbers, and things like array / list slices
and even regular expressions.
To test these things on the fly an interpreter makes sense, or even small
functions which you can just copy and paste into the interpreter and then test
them out there.
With C however the playing field is far less esoteric (to my knowledge). The
important concepts that an imperative language like C contributed to the world
of programming languages are, and hence what you want to learn from studying C
are things like:
variables and constatns
arrays
structs
the concept of functions
conditional statements
loop constructs
pointers
bit wise operations
input and output
To me it makes much more sense to make use of code files and a compile, run,
debug cycle to learn how al those work. Especially if one is learning to
program for the first time.
Some of those concepts require a bit of setup code first, so would one have to
type that into the interpreter then first every time?
I would advise you to stick to files and compiling and running your code --
that's how C works. Also, with an interpreter you can get way different errors
than with a compiler. At the end of the day your goal is to use a compiler, why
not start with that from square one?
Hope this helps.

Ch is both a C and C++ interpreter apparently.
I'll download it and have a look.

I've been meaning to try that, also. I've heard it's good though, and
wouldn't mind a c++ interpreter, if such a thing even exists? lol.
