Part 1. Introduction¶

libfx is set of packages, an package provides documents and implementations for concepts which relates with computer programming. Documents are write by nature language and to be use as a way to get knowledge about concepts, also as guide to use implementations. Implementations are write by programming language and to be use as APIs to write programs, for specific programming language is C.

libfx describes concepts and give implementations under the libfx name to help programmers do thier job and do together. For example, libfx provides vector, hash table, thread pool or TCP handling model. Unlike in the case use other packages with different styles, libfx is unique clauses, it saves resources such as time, money and working. Programmers can be student, researcher, developer or any one, they can use or contribute to libfx if they have base knowledge about computer programming.

Packages aims to both hosted and freestanding environments.If package runs on hosted, it must be independent between hosts, called cross platform. So some packages can runs on embeded system, some packages must be runs on kernel of operating system. Let consider carefully destination environments while create new packages or use early existed packages.

Implementations by C language because C language is freedom. That mean C language provides essential concepts and let programmers decides concepts what they need. There are few other reasons but freedom is most important. Compare with other language such as C++: C++ provides three concepts are OOP, RAII, and exception together, if disable one of them to use alternative concepts then C++ is not C++. Or with Python, it hides raw memory concepts so programmers can not do work with memory exactly.

libfx exchanges freedom by hard working. Because C language provides essential concepts, more work to, it is result and can not be avoid completely. If some one need do work quickly, please consider other solutions.

Here are fork, Go to Part 2. Specification to use or Part 3. Development to contribute libfx.
