This project was backed by Patreon supporters
This web programming guide started out as a video series on YouTube, supported through Patreon. Patrons at the “C programming” level and above (Patreon) got access to these extras:
- Early access to the “C programming” videos
- Exclusive access to the rest of the “programming guide” with more detail and information that didn’t make it into the videos
- A weekly Patreon forum to ask questions about that week’s “C programming” topics (if you were following along with the videos and need help, this was the place to ask)
- After the video series was finished, I edited the programming guide into a “teach yourself programming” book, via publishing partner Lulu. Patrons could purchase the book at cost.
