Question Learning to program in c
Hi,

I'v been fiddling with c programming for several years, and would say that i have a firm grip on the language(syntax etc). My problem is that i don't know how to USE c. I'v never made any "big" programs or worked on any kind of projects, just simple test programs. I'm wondering if anybody could suggest some simple program of some sort that would give me some challange, but that isn't to hard complete. I'v tried several times, but I usually give up after a while, because it get's to complicated.

What i'm asking is if somebody could suggest a simple first project. What was the first program you guys made?

thanks =)

-John

NAME

     ATF -- introduction to the Automated Testing Framework

DESCRIPTION

     The Automated Testing Framework (ATF) is a collection of libraries to implement test programs in a variety of languages.  These libraries all
     offer similar functionality and any test program written with them exposes a consistent user interface.

     Test programs using the ATF libraries rely on a separate runtime engine to execute them in a deterministic fashion.  The runtime engine iso-
     lates the test programs from the rest of the system and ensures some common side-effects are cleaned up.  The runtime engine is also respon-
     sible for gathering the results of all tests and composing reports.  The current runtime of choice is Kyua, described in kyua(1).

     If your operating systems distributes ATF, it should also provide an introductory tests(7) manual page.  You are encouraged to read it now.

     The rest of this manual page serves as a cross-reference to all the other documentation shipped with ATF.

   Language bindings
     atf-c(3)		    C programming interface.

     atf-c++(3) 	    C++ programming interface.

     atf-sh(3)		    sh(1) programming interface.

   Miscellaneous pages
     atf-test-case(4)	    Generic description of test cases, independent of the language they are implemented in.

     atf-test-program(1)    Common interface provided by the test programs written using the ATF libraries.

SEE ALSO

     kyua(1), tests(7)

HISTORY

     ATF started as a Google Summer of Code 2007 project mentored by The NetBSD Foundation.  Its original goal was to provide a testing framework
     for the NetBSD operating system, but it grew as an independent project because the framework itself did not need to be tied to a specific
     operating system.

     Originally, ATF shipped the collection of libraries described in this manual page as well as a runtime engine.  The runtime engine has since
     been replaced by Kyua and the old tools were removed in 0.20, which shipped in early 2014.

     As of late 2014, both FreeBSD and NetBSD ship ATF in their base systems and provide extensive test suites based on it.
