    Thanks guys!
    Patience is it's own reward.
    Impatience is it's own punishment.

    Figure a month to learn the basics, 3 months before you can write anything useful, 6 months to a year to get good at it.

    Well, I'm something of an anomally... I started off with online tutorials like
    Teach Yourself C in 21 Days -- Table of Contents
    (back when it was still current ) But coming from a long Pascal background, this was mostly adjustment... I already had most of the concepts.

    Basically whatever you are most comfortable with, just make sure it's the newest edition... You want to learn from the C-99 standard... so you at least need a textbook from this millenium...
