i read this book
Absolute Beginner's Guide to C (2nd Edition) by Greg Perry

and i fealt that is was harder to read the k&R book but i will read it later.
now i am reading the following books
C programming in 21 days, sams publishing
and
C: step-by-step

[spurious_inode]

Sounds like a good start, those books should get you a good understanding of the basics. I recommend
the books I mentioned once you have read (and more or less understand) the concepts covered in an
introductory C book or tutorial. Also, time spent on understanding pointers and callbacks now (or in the
near future) will pay off huge in the long run.

Best of luck
