Today I'm going to introduce a more advanced topic: what goes into actually making a program--the steps that a compiler takes when building your program, and how that will improve your programming

 

Understanding the phases of compilation will make it easier for you to deal with compilation failures, make it possible to share code between programs, simplify working with larger code bases, and unravel some of the magic behind the incantations you use to go from source code to executable.

 

To learn more about the phases of building a program (and splitting up your code across multiple files), check out these articles:

 

Compiling and Linking - A detailed description of the two phases that go into making an executable program

 

Using Multiple Source files in a Single Program - Do you want to reuse code across multiple programs?  This is the article for you

 

The Preprocessor - Discover how to use the preprocessor and how to take better advantage of it to automatically generate code

 

Dealing with Compiler Errors - (Aimed at Beginners) Learn how to fix problems at each stage of the build process

 

Learning the details of how the compiler actually works will take your understanding to a new level, but if you're still new to programming and find all of this too confusing, just save this email and come back to it later.  But do come back to it!
