Learning C Programming

This repository documents my journey in learning the C programming language. It contains various projects and exercises that showcase my progress and understanding of C concepts.

Learning Path

1. C Syntax Fundamentals

   • Variables and data types (int, string, array)
   • Pointers
   • Control structures

2. File I/O

   • Reading and writing files
   • Bit manipulation in files

3. Advanced Topics

   • Networking
   • Threading
   • Data Structures in C (trees, dictionaries, linked lists, queues)
   • Static library creation
   • Object-Oriented Programming principles in C

This learning path follows two main resources:

• Low Level Academy courses on File Manipulation, Networking, and Threading
• Web Server Development Playlist by Eric O Meehan on YouTube

These resources provide a structured approach to learning advanced C programming concepts and system-level development.

Key Projects

1. Database in File

View Project

This file-based database system simulates SQLite functionality:

• Creation of new database files
• CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete)
• Command-line interface for database interactions

This project demonstrates file manipulation, data structures, and CLI design in C.

2. Web Server (In Progress)

view project

Building a web server from scratch, similar to Flask or Express.js:

• Implementing routing capabilities
• Template rendering
• Database integration
• Exploring networking concepts in C
• Implementing multi-threading for concurrent connections

3. Assembly Programming (Upcoming)

Following the Low Level Academy curriculum to dive into assembly language programming.

Sparked Interests

This journey has ignited curiosity in various areas:

• Microcontrollers and embedded systems (e.g., STM32 Nucleo board)
• Bare metal programming
• Modern systems programming languages (Rust, Zig)
• Hardware hacking tools (Flipper Zero)
• Microchip architecture and design

Future Goals

My ultimate objective is to combine the custom web server with the database system to create a full-stack C application. This will involve:

• Defining routes (similar to Express.js or Flask)
• Rendering templates
• Implementing database search and storage functionalities
