Show HN: Free C course called "C Systems Lab"(csystemslab.com)

C Systems Lab is a free interactive web course that walks through 10 modules of systems programming in C: compilation, pointers, dynamic memory, structs, the preprocessor, file I/O, processes and signals, sockets, concurrency, and a tour below C.

The free course itself is the link. Get the free sample of the PDF by adding "/demo" to the link. Since I don't necessarily like the paywall aspect of it, you may ask me for the complete edition by reaching out via email.

Happy to answer questions about the content or the curriculum design.

It's a bummer the site looks like low contrast slop, the grey text hurts my eyes.

(Admittedly, HN also uses slop grey, but I use custom CSS to unfuck hn's bullshit colors.)

Hey, thanks for the reply! I have actually been fighting the low contrast and what i feel is the biggest problem on both light and dark themes is the small text. I will release an update soon addressing both the low contrast and the small text, both to improve legibility. I'm sorry the gray text hurts your eyes, I admittedly haven't recieved much feedback at all, so any observation is appreciated
