Try being a programmer in the 90s. Just like that but with no entries at all
I'm guessing it was more like "Let me pull this book off the shelves and wade through that for the answers"
And the book had all the answers.
So not a whole lot has changed. I cringe thinking of all the youtube video that explain OOP like this
It was called The x86 Assembly Bible and I would not have been able to do much of anything without it.
Yeah. Can I get a book - usually something official like K&R for C.
💯 came here to say that.
I learnt C on an Amiga. No memory protection at all. Pointer errors would likely need a reboot to recover.
I rebooted a lot.
I also learned C on the Amiga. I loved SAS C. I also came across C++ first on the Amiga when it was just a pre processor for C. I really loved that machine but it was the community that was special
Okay, Yahoo and AskJeeves didn't have anything useful. Let's try this Google thing.
Altavista. Back when keywords still meant something.
