Trivial questions - what to do?

That sounds like a dreadful disease.

And one we know only too well. Symptoms include lots of red, rectangular spots varying from dark red to a lighter, shinier red, severe temper tantrums, and inability to concentrate. Sexual side effects may occur.

"Aerie's adventures with C" sounds like a good idea. Especially as you write so well.

I have an idea that learners make better tutors than experts in many ways, especially when it comes to the trivial stuff that experts have long forgotten about.

Hee. Well, I can agree with you about the concept of beginners being good at offering lateral perspective to other beginners, at least.

I think I will give the 'Adventures with C' idea a try, since I've gotten a few good comments back about it.

After all, it'll be pretty clear all-round if it bombs.

Oh my god.
I can't decide if that's really brilliant, or just plain wrong.

Probably the first one. I'm always saying things that have a sexual connotation and not realizing it until I say something that really makes people laugh. In a nearby town called Eaton, the student body of the high school wanted to change their mascot to the beaver. It got quite far before someone put a stop to it. As this story was told in my class, it took a very detailed explanation from my English teacher that I wish I had never had for me to get the joke.

Oh Sean, you're so innocent

You should hear the stories back when I thought a Magnum was just a handgun...

Topic drift: not just a good idea, it's the LAW.

I didn't read all the posts, but these are the best C tutorials I have found on the internet. IMO, this is better than K & R
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/cclass/cclass.html

That, along the comp.lang.c FAQ list, should answer hopefully all your questions. Note that the class notes are meant to accompany K & R but they can be used as a standalone to learn I think. The author, Steve Summit, being a veteran newsgroup user, is much like a forum user in the sense that he is very anal about doing things that precisely and conforming to the standards. His class notes are written very very well.
