English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Is Practicing C coding on real Amiga 1200 or 500+ hardware a good idea?

I don’t get why you feel the need to run real hardware to do this.

I do think that learning C on the Amiga is a good idea, and maybe a bit of assembly to really cement how things really work, but setting up WinUAE and VBCC with a good editor that understands your code will be so much more efficient for a tonne of reasons.
