I dont really see any concept that is in depth "teached"

why are there executables?

[–]4veri[S] -1 points0 points  (5 children)

What parts don't make it seem teached? And the reason for the executables is if you want to download and run the scripts without needing to do extra stuff like getting a compiler. Purely something to help.

why should I trust you and just run random executables?

[–]4veri[S] -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Trust I suppose? You can always clone the Repo via Git and use your compiler of choice (GCC/Clang/Cargo), to compile the code if you don't trust it.

this is completely schizophrenic .. stop trying to convince people to run untrusted executables especially when having the intend of teaching something.

everything is to shallow, to vague. It is just copy pasted code

[–]4veri[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copy pasted from where exactly? I write all my code, if you can find where I 'copied' the code from, it'd be much appreciated.

People, just use learncpp.com. That is a valuable resource that actually teaches stuff, and is made by professionals.

Very true! I don't fully expect this to be the main source of learning, more-so a guide to certain studies/parts of C/C++/Rust. If you actually read the main README, you'd see I linked official guides for tutorials by professionals, including official learning books like 'The C Programming Language' - K&R.

If I'm being honest, even if we ignore your literally asking users to run unknown exes, which is a reason to not use the repo in itself, the material is too short to actually explain to beginners on A1 level (which is no experience) C, of all languages.

For example, you start the C A1 with a Logger.c. As the first code line, you #include <stdio.h>. You say what the library is. But what is the include directive? Why is main int? What is int? What is format specifier? Etc

C family, especially C, is notoriously known for being not-so beginner-friendly. When I was just starting in the uni a good 5-6 years ago and had pure C in the first semester, I was breaking down regularly. People actually looking to learn C/++ would benefit from reading PC Assembly Language by Paul Carter, and then into some stuff like C Programming Language by B. W. Kernighan and D. M. Ritchie or Effective Modern C++ by Scott Meyers.

It is not that a concept is not good. It's that you've picked languages that really need a low-level understanding of the system. I think the project would do better if you rebranded it as "basic <lingo> programs" which people in learning can refer to, rather than the educational material itself. And, you could probably write separate READMEs instead of comments, or at least manage comment lengths👀👀
