C Environment Setup
This section describes how to set up your system environment before you start doing your
programming using C language.
Before you start doing programming using C programming language, you need the following
two softwares available on your computer, (a) Text Editor and (b) The C Compiler.
Text Editor :-
This will be used to type your program. Examples of few editors include Windows Notepad,OS Edit command, Brief, Epsilon, EMACS, and vim or vi.
Name and version of text editor can vary on different operating systems. For example,
Notepad will be used on Windows, and vim or vi can be used on windows as well as Linux or
UNIX.
The files you create with your editor are called source files and contain program source
code. The source files for C programs are typically named with the extension “.c”.
Before starting your programming, make sure you have one text editor in place and you
have enough experience to write a computer program, save it in a file, compile it and finally
execute it.
The C Compiler :-
The source code written in source file is the human readable source for your program. Itneeds to be "compiled", to turn into machine language so that your CPU can actually
execute the program as per instructions given.
This C programming language compiler will be used to compile your source code into final
executable program. I assume you have basic knowledge about a programming language
compiler.
Most frequently used and free available compiler is GNU C/C++ compiler, otherwise you can
have compilers either from HP or Solaris if you have respective Operating Systems.
Following section guides you on how to install GNU C/C++ compiler on various OS. I'm
mentioning C/C++ together because GNU gcc compiler works for both C and C++
programming languages.
Installation on UNIX/Linux :-
If you are using Linux or UNIX, then check whether GCC is installed on your system byentering the following command from the command line:
$ gcc -v
If you have GNU compiler installed on your machine, then it should print a message
something as follows:
Using built-in specs.
Target: i386-redhat-linux
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr .......
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)
If GCC is not installed, then you will have to install it yourself using the detailed
instructions available athttp://gcc.gnu.org/install/
This tutorial has been written based on Linux and all the given examples have been
compiled on Cent OS flavor of Linux system.
Installation on Mac OS :-
If you use Mac OS X, the easiest way to obtain GCC is to download the Xcode developmentenvironment from Apple's web site and follow the simple installation instructions. Once you
have Xcode setup, you will be able to use GNU compiler for C/C++.
Xcode is currently available at developer.apple.com/technologies/tools/.
Installation on Windows :-
To install GCC at Windows you need to install MinGW. To install MinGW, go to the MinGWhomepage, www.mingw.org, and follow the link to the MinGW download page. Download
the latest version of the MinGW installation program, which should be named MinGW-<version>.exe.
While installing MinWG, at a minimum, you must install gcc-core, gcc-g++, binutils, and
the MinGW runtime, but you may wish to install more.
Add the bin subdirectory of your MinGW installation to your PATH environment variable, so
that you can specify these tools on the command line by their simple names.
When the installation is complete, you will be able to run gcc, g++, ar, ranlib, dlltool, and
several other GNU tools from the Windows command line.

Introduction to App Development
Have you ever imagined how it feels like being an android developer? When you have developed a cool app and it has got thousands and millions of downloads. Everyone around is talking about your work and your application. It definitely feels great.
Now if I tell you, you can also be a good android developer and without the knowledge of any programming language, would you believe me? You have to believe my friend because I am about to take you to the journey of becoming an independent android developer with no prior knowledge of programming and coding languages. All you require is a computer with working internet connection and a simple idea to work on which we will convert into a working android app.
OK, let me tell you How we are going to do it? and, What we will be using for it? We are going to use the App Inventor software provided by Google itself and now it is maintained by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). It is an open source and browser based utility, which means you are not required to download and install anything on your computer. Since it is browser based so you can do your work from any of the computer whether sitting at home or at cyber cafe or on your laptop on the go.
