I've been enjoying printing out technical stuff to read lately. Here's some of it.

  1. Kerninghan & Ritchie C todo - This is my go-to reference if C is doing something I don't understand. It's very well-written, and serves as a slightly-less-dry version of the ANSI C standard (which also is/will be on this list).
  2. RFC 3986 txt (todo) pdf - This is the one that defines the syntax of a URI. I implemented it as a pure-C library here.
  3. RFC 9051 todo - This one describes the most up-to-date version of the IMAP protocol, for read-type access to e-mailboxes. I plan on implementing this one as a pure C library as well, but haven't finished the project yet.
  4. RFC 5321 todo - Defines SMTP ("Simple Mail Transfer Protocol"), for sending emails.
