    Just getting started with C

    I'm teaching myself C along with Java and Python.

    I find it very fun to be learning this.

    Any recommendations for more learning material?

    I'm currently using some apps on my phone to teach me how to program in all three languages.

    I really would like to get into kernel programming for Linux. If it's possible, I'd like to try to convert the kernel into a micro kernel just for fun.

    So far, I've made a basic calculator in both Java and C.

    Focus on C then.

    Read books; take classes. If your local college offers microcomputing, UNIX/Linux courses, get into those, as just knowing your way around that operating system and getting to know its design is exceedingly helpful. Here is a sticky you didn't bother to click on: C Book Recommendations

    You've got a long road to travel. Don't expect the knowledge you need to build a kernel to fall into your lap.

    I cannot give much recommendation as I am also just learning. But I am using the "Computer Science A Structured Programming Approach Using C 2007 3rd Edition ". So for I have not had any issues with it.
