Hi,
I am a programmer (Cobol, RPG) that was originally schooled in Pascal. For job reasons I recently learned myself C programming. (I have to confess it changed my negative attitude towards that language into a positive one; after some sweating However, I find myself having trouble with getting knowledge of 'libraries' and 'frameworks'. I do grasp the concepts (I guess) of both but I do not know how to aquire knowledge about building them or using them.
I end up in PB with a nice program and that is all but if I have two or more programs I f.i. don't know how to invoke one from the other. I suppose libraries and frameworks can help me with this and then help me organise programs just as I can organise functions within .c 'modules'.
Does anyone have some suggestions on literature that explains these concepts in a way that enables me to get the full grasp? I would like to get this knowledge to be able to access the cocao and carbon frameworks but also to get a feel for these concepts on other platforms.
Your suggestions are highly apreciated.
Wim
