# Acronym
Convert a phrase to its acronym.
Techies love their TLA (Three Letter Acronyms)!
Help generate some jargon by writing a program that converts a long name
like Portable Network Graphics to its acronym (PNG).
## Getting Started
Make sure you have read the
[C page](http://exercism.io/languages/c) on the Exercism site. This covers
the basic information on setting up the development environment expected
by the exercises.
## Passing the 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.
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.
[3-tdd-rules]: http://butunclebob.com/ArticleS.UncleBob.TheThreeRulesOfTdd
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.
