Welcome to Exploring C

A subsection of BradPenney.io, this site is all about digging into the C programming language — the bedrock of operating systems, compilers, and much of the software we still rely on today. 🖥️⚙️

Here you’ll find a mix of fundamentals, practical code examples, and the occasional deep dive into the quirks that make C both powerful and, at times, a little puzzling. Whether you’re chasing pointers, wrangling memory, or just curious about how C shaped the Linux kernel, this space is for you.

Topics to Explore 🔍

• The core syntax and style of Modern C ✍️
• Memory management: pointers, malloc, and friends 🧩
• Structs, unions, and other data-wrangling tricks 🗂️
• System calls and how C talks to the OS 🛠️
• Real-world examples drawn from Linux and beyond 🐧

Stick around — I’ll be adding notes, experiments, and lessons learned as I work through Modern C (Jens Gustedt, 2024) and classic texts like APUE. Thanks for visiting, and happy hacking in C! 👋
