and other details that aren't documented anywhere else. |
|
3rd Party Hardware Spec |
This web page describes the specification for adding your own hardware support to the IDE. It also documents
the basic features that support multiple hardware platforms, such as where the files might be located and
what these files might contain. May be useful for finding out where the 'core' files are, that implement a
particular functionality for your particular hardware. |
| Learn Code the Hard Way |
A series of online (and dead-tree 'hardcopy') books that teach various programming languages |

| How to Become a Hacker |
From the maintainer of the Jargon File, a witty 'howto' on becoming a hacker |
| Asking Smart Questions |
If you want hackers to answer your questions, you should ask wisely. This short
guide is a good reference for how to get a hacker to help you on IRC or USENET. |
