+# Help
+
+Make sure you have read the "Guides" section of the [C track][c-track] on the Exercism site.
+This covers the basic information on setting up the development environment expected by the exercises.
+
+## Submitting Incomplete Solutions
+
+If you are struggling with a particular exercise, it is possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.
+
+## Resources
+
+To get help if having trouble, you can use the following resources:
+
+- [StackOverflow][] can be used to search for your problem and see if it has been answered already. You can also ask and answer questions.
+- [CPPReference][] can be used to look up information on C concepts, operators, types, standard library functions and more.
+- [TutorialsPoint][] has similar content as CPPReference in its C programming section.
+- [The C Programming][K&R] book by K&R is the original source of the language and is still useful today.

+# Tests
+
+Get the first test compiling, linking and passing by following the [three rules of test-driven development][3-tdd-rules].
+
+The included makefile can be used to create and run the tests using the `test` task.
+
+```console
+    make test
+```
+
+Create just the functions you need to satisfy any compiler errors and get the test to fail.
+Then write just enough code to get the test to pass.
+Once you've done that, move onto the next test.
+
+As you progress through the tests, take the time to refactor your implementation for readability and expressiveness and then go on to the next test.
+
+Try to use standard C99 facilities in preference to writing your own low-level algorithms or facilities by hand.
