Laid the foundation of the book and got the tone of it thought out.

+\chapter{Exercise 1: Dust Off That Compiler}
+
+Here is a simple first program you can make in C:
+
+\begin{code}{ex1.c}
+<< d['code/ex1.c|pyg|l'] >>
+\end{code}
+
+You can put this into a \file{ex1.c} then type:
+
+\begin{code}{Building ex1}
+\begin{Verbatim}
+make ex1
+./ex1
+\end{Verbatim}
+\end{code}
+
+Try it and let me know if it worked.  If you type this \verb|make ex1.c| then
+you're doing it wrong and need to pay attention to what I typed.  C does not
+treat kindly those who lack attention to detail.

+\chapter{Exercise 2: Make Is Your Python Now}
+
+In \href{http://learnpythonthehardway.org}{Python} you ran programs by just
+typing \verb|python| and the code you wanted to run.  The Python interpreter
+would just run them, and import any other libraries and things you needed
+on the fly as it ran.  C is a different beast completely where you have to
+\emph{compile} your source files and manually stitch them together into
+a binary that can run on its own.  Doing this manually is a pain, and in
+the last exercise you just ran \file{make} to do it.
+
+In this exercise, you're going to get a crash course in GNU make, and you'll
+be learning to use it as you learn C.  Make will for the rest of this book,
+be your Python.  It will build your code, and run your tests, and set things
+up and do all the stuff for you that Python normally does.
+
+The difference is, I'm going to show you smarter Makefile wizardry, where you
+don't have to specify every stupid little thing about your C program to get
+it to build.  I won't do that in this exercise, but after you've been using
+"baby make" for a while, I'll show you "master make".
+
+... explain basic usage of make to just build single files ...
+
+... go into a simple makefile ...
+
+... show how to run the simple makefile ...

+\chapter{Exercise 3: Formatted Printing}
+
+Many programming languages use the C way of formatting output, so let's try it:
+
+\begin{code}{ex3.c}
+<< d['code/ex3.c|pyg|l'] >>
+\end{code}
+
+Once you have that, do the usual \shell{make ex3} to build it and run it.
+
+This exercise has a whole lot going on in a small amount of code.  First you're
+including another "header file" called \file{stdio.h}, then you're using a variable 
+named \ident{age} and setting it to 10.  Then you're printing it out using the
+function \ident{printf} and a format string similar to what you would use
+in Python.
+
+... explain this ...
