Shoot it up and I'll let the author know.

Yo, really diz much tokin' 'bout mah shitty 'torials? C'mon, man...

Ok, so about the first one (http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=6236).

This is NOT a C tutorial, but a tutorial on programming using C as a tool. My main aim there was to introduce programming to people that know absolutely nothing about it, and link it to how a computer works at low level. Those forums are basically about PSP hacking, and as one of the authors of one of those hacks (HBL) I had to answer a lot of people wanting to start such "hackings". So I decided to write a simple tutorial about how to start programming. I think C is a good language for that kind of introduction since the audience wants low-level knowledge.

I'm by no means a C expert, although I've read K&R and the C standard, but of course I don't remember them since 1) I don't work with C professionally since 10 years now and 2) the C standard changes too fast to keep up if you don't use it daily.

And about "everything in C is a number", what I really meant was that everything in a computer is a number (and as such, ultimately everything in any programming language is a number).

Now about the other one (http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=10045), I'm already stating that "Please note that this tutorial is based on a 32-bit systems". I should have added that it's on x86-32 or IA32. This tricks of course could not work on different architectures, but the point again is linking C to low-level and introduce people to assembly and architecture.

Have fun!
