About The C Shore If you are technical you might wonder where the C code is, given the name of this site. Non-techies may just be wondering why the name of the site. I (Daniel Dickinson) chose the name because C is the first ‘real’ programming language I learned well (I don’t count assembler, which is too low level to be truly a language, nor BASIC which was more of a training language even if you could – if you really wanted to – do real things with it), and the code is scattered among various open source and proprietary projects.
