At the moment this is mostly an outline rather than a complete document. This is an introduction and short tutorial on writing and maintaining libraries of C code. It is intended to show the basics of writing modular code, building this code into sets of object files, and combining these into a reusable library.

  1. Introduction to libraries.
  2. Introduction to objects.
  3. Writing modular code with objects.
  4. Compiling a library of objects.
