First 10 or 20 lessons

C P User 3

Can someone point me to a site with the first ten or twenty lessons for newbee/refresher material for plain old regular C ? The last course in C I had was years ago. Oh, and in before first comment; yes, I know about google. (That's why I'm asking here !)

I used Google, and I found some sites: http://www.cprogramming.com[^] http://www.learn-c.org/[^] http://www.w3schools.in/c-programming-language/intro/[^] I think you found these, too. But didn't they satisfy you yet?

So what is wrong with some of these links[^]?

K&R and programming. Since you already know Google, a foundation book and experience is all other you need.

Here's what's "wrong" with them: they came from google. Some time ago, google became the premier web search tool. Some time after that, money came into play. Some time after that, Newton's third law, in terms of psychodynamics and economics, produced the "Search Engine Optimization" (SEO) phenomenon. Some time after that, the financial aspect of "finding the best" came into the procedure. I don't understand all the inputs, but I have seen enough of the outputs to understand that the algorithm is now different from what it was several years ago. Hence, asking the direct opinion of a bunch of guys on a site like this can produce a far more easily understood "search result" with the biases and prejudices far more easily inferred than a list that google produces. With those biases and prejudices more clearly evident and understood than an "automated" response, I can make a decision with which I'm far more comfortable. I guess the concept parallels wikipedia these days; i.e.,

"...NPOV is absolute and non-negotiable..."

From what I've seen, the same thing that happened to wikipedia's "...NPOV..." closely approximates what has happened to google's algorithms. All this is from guessing, based on the results I've personally observed. So,,,,,,,,,, That's why I like opinions from here better than from there.

And how do you think we find "the best", whatever that may mean. I learned C from Kernighan & Ritchie[^], which is, in my opinion, one of the best programming guides ever written. But then I may well have missed lots of others.
