Writing Inter-Process Communication (IPC) Library in C (Part 1)

-
Writing Inter-Process Communication (IPC) Library in C Welcome to a project-based tutorial on how to write an inter-process communication library in C. In this tutorial, I will start by giving an overview of how you can work with processes in C and some basic strategies to make multiple processes communicate with each other, then I will define the goal for the project and divide the whole process of implementing a custom IPC library into multiple parts. The reason why I'll not cover everything in a single post is that I don't want the readers (who might be relatively new to this stuff) to feel frustrated or overwhelmed by the length of the post. Because sometimes, people may easily get demotivated just by looking at how long a marathon is instead of looking at what it entails. That being said, let's start looking at the main disadvantage of using a single process when you can use multiple. Is using a single process slow? f**k it! I didn't actually mean what y...

Website Hosting "101": How I built and deployed my own website

TLDR; Do you have a dynamic website idea? I did, too. I also wanted to know what it would take to build and deploy my website using Python. Here's how I did it: I came across the Django  web framework and started learning its basics by reading its well-written documentation . The main reason for learning Django was to be able to write a backend for my website. I used  ChatGPT  to have a frontend (as well as other boring stuff) for my website. I hate centering divs. I used NameCheap to buy a custom domain name, and I deployed my website (Python app) on it. What does "having a website" mean? A website is a site that you can visit on the web. This means that it is an online document that provides information to people who might need it. This online document is stored in one or more physical machines. For simplicity, let us assume that it is stored only on your machine and its content is about learning a new programming language. If it is stored on your own laptop, you c...

A Student's C Book: 1.2. Basics

-

Level 1. Introduction to C 1.2. Basics Your computer can memorize things One of the things that you can make your computer remember is integer numbers. As one would do in math, you can assign numbers to variables (usually to reuse them later on when needed). Roughly speaking, this is how computers remember things. You use a variable to make a computer remember a number. You may ask why there needs to be a variable to remember a number. Well, let's imagine that you were to be given multiple facts to memorize. For simplicity, I'll only assume two of them: Alice is 3 years old, and Bob is 5 years old. Now, you are asked about Bob's age. If you didn't associate 3 and 5 with the names Alice and Bob, respectively, then you wouldn't be able to answer this question with certainty. So, your mind probably did something similar to what we do in math -- use variables to represent those numbers, that is, Alice = 3  and Bob = 5 . That's why you were able to answer...
