Hello, all!
My C diving progress is very slow. I want to use C for web development. Could anyone give an advice on how to learn faster? Thanks.

There is no shortcut, that I know of. What is it they say? It takes 10000 hours of practice to become good at something...?
But for specific queries, a forum like this one is the place to go.
Good luck on your journey (to understand C)!

C is too low level for this.
If you're just writing client side code, you're just going to be wasting a lot of time on low level details.
Even if you use libraries like curl, there's still a lot of fiddling with detail.
If you're writing server side code, you're just one step away from a buffer overflow and a whole host of other problems which have nothing to do with programming.
Yes. You could write web apps in C, or even in Assembly language, but there are quite a few modern languages that are much better suited.Quote:

What's stopping you from using better hardware or say, cloud computing services? What's the expected bottle neck in the code that you intend to write? (e.g., if network latency is going to dominate, choosing C may be a wrong approach for improving performance.)
Mastering "all C syntax and features of latest standard" does not mean you have what it takes to write efficient and secure C code.
This may be a dumb suggestion; but, I have read a little by accident about Python to C converters or embedding and maybe that would help the OP.
I have never looked on purpose about doing this task; But, what little I know of Python makes it sound better than C as a text processing solution.
I have never done web development; but, it sounds like a problem with text processing is part of the solution.
