Honestly, why don't you re-iterate the known tutorials about these things? Make a blog post saying "here are these old C tutorials, which are amazing; and some people seem to have forgotten these things" and post them. Lots of comp.lang.c posts are interest Chris Torek's stuff are interesting. If you go to the ##c channel, at irc.freenode.com, they have a wiki link on the topic. That wiki has links to many tutorials. Re-iterate these things. And, please, recommend people using something other than C =)


It would be super cool if you would just point to what you think is the better stuff with a link.


Sorry. I don't know why I didn't do it.

This is that wiki page I mentioned. It has links to all sorts of places. All articles I was talking about, I found in there.

It has an articles page:

http://www.iso-9899.info/wiki/C_gotchas

And it has some recommendations on many things, including other artigles.

Check out the "Additional materials part":

Anyway, wander a little bit in that page. The books recommendations are great, even though they recommend Deitel & Deitel C book, which is not bad, but it's sort of shallow.


Thanks, I appreciate that.


This Chris Torek guy has a bunch of articles. Series called "C for smarties". It's __very__ good.

The link is in there in the wiki somewhere, but I think it's worth placing it separately.

The wiki mentions some names in the Usenet page. Google these names.
