Amiga E Useful Resources

As I was coding today I realized it might be a good idea to post a list of useful resources if you are interested in programming in Amiga E. I have mentioned different items here and there in this blog, but haven’t listed a nice list in one post. I’ll try to do that here and explain if it needs to be explained.

If you are programming on an Amiga or are using WinUAE to run an Amiga environment to program in, you have many choices since Amiga E originated on the Amiga. (duh!) Besides PortablE, there is the excellent compiler ECX by Leif Salomonsson. It is still being maintained! You can find it at http://www.blubbedev.net/ecx/. There are versions for AmigaOS 4.0 and MorphOS as well.

PortablE – PortablE language and compiler
AmigaE IRC Channel – irc.freenode.net at #amigaE
Wouter’s AmigaE page – The original Amiga E web site by creator Wouter van Oortmerssen.
Beginner’s Guide to Amiga E by Jason R. Hulance
Amiga E Mailing List
Amiga E programs available at Aminet – http://aminet.net/dev/e
Amiga E at Wikipedia – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AmigaE
UtilityBase – Active web site with a lot of Amiga developer information including Amiga E of course.
AmiDevCpp – nice Windows IDE with Amiga cross compilers included.

The most complete Amiga E language reference you will find is at Wouter’s Amiga E page. Just download the main archive from that site even if you are using Windows. The language reference is in AmigaGuide format. To read this in Windows go to Safalra’s web site and download WinGuide 4.0 and install it. You will then be able to open the Amiga E reference guide that Wouter provides in the main archive. This and the beginner’s guide that I mention above will be your main references while coding Amiga E.

EDIT: I have just been informed that Wouter’s guide is now available online here.

Also, if you haven’t heard, PortablE for Windows is in beta. So we will soon be able to use Amiga E in Windows.
So now that you have all of that, there is no excuse not to become an Amiga E programmer!
