Message: [QUOTE="Richard Heathfield, post: 2498019"] Shane said: See below. But first, Shane, I think you'd be wise to drop glade *and* to drop KDevelop, *and* to drop your Sudoku solver ("How the hell does he know that?" I hear you say... well, I have my ways of knowing these things), and just focus on learning C. You're biting off more than you can chew, this early in your language learning. There are lots of interesting projects you can do that don't involve GUI work. You are just giving yourself too much complexity in one lump, and you won't know whether any given problem arises from your ignorance of the language, of the tool, or of the task. Divide and conquer. Learn one hard thing at a time. Now, about Martin. He's what we call an "expert". He knows his stuff, and he's a fabulous, albeit somewhat grumpy, bloke. He used to just be fabulous, but then a trillion newbies came along, asking much a quadrillion questions, and very often these questions - and the way in which they were asked - betrayed not just a lack of knowledge (which you expect in a newbie), but also a lack of thought and indeed courtesy. And so, by turns, he became grumpy as well as fabulous. If you want people to give *you* the benefit of the doubt, I suggest you start your sojourn in this newsgroup by giving others that same benefit. After all, everything Martin said is perfectly correct - you did fail to provide the relevant code, which would have made it far easier to explain to you what precisely your problem was. [/QUOTE]
