Best C learning material

>>57548982
The C Programming Language by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie.

>>57549011
I heard that wasn't suitable for beginners, did you begin with that?

>>57549026
yes

>>57549026
C Programming a modern approach is good aswell

>>57548982
You must poo in da loo and learn from the Indian loo shills good goy.

>>57549088
but that's Java

>>57549091
>c++
kys you are self

>>57549149
cppreference is a good website for c too you dummy

but yeah, read K&R, then read "The Linux Programming Interface"

To be honest, C isn't the best starting languag'm e. Java is more employable. C is very practical, but not very employable at the current moment. I'm a javacuck who know's C++ and that's just my 2 cents.

>super competent with UNIX

Just use section 3 of the manpages as your resource. For instance

man 3 printf

etc.

explain this

>>57549194
>3
3p is what you want nigga

>>57549202
you do not need to be a programmer to use UNIX like systems or the CLI

>>57549189
I don't care about getting employed, I simply wanna have fun with C and making shit

>>57549249
>having fun

>>57549203
Then run each of

man 3 printf

and

man 3p printf

and tell me which one is more helpful.

Watch Harvard's CS50 lectures if you don't have any programming experience.

Then, read this: >>57549011

Congratulations, you're now a C god so do whatever.

What is this childish, try-hard obsession with C?

C is great for one and only one purpose: it is likely the lowest-level you can write software and still have it be portable. That doesn't mean you can write UI software on Linux and have it run on Windows, that means you can write software that uses the C Standard Library to process input and create output, and compile and run that across platforms.

That's it. If that's not your specific goal, then C is likely a poor choice.

>super competent when it comes to using UNIX systems

You chose well, OP. You're going to have a great time.

When I learned C/C++ (the first time) in the late 90's, I did it with this motherfucking phonebook that reads like an API reference.
"Jamsa's C/C++ Programmer's Bible"

I also had:
"C++ for You++: An Introduction to Programming and Computer Science"


But I have to say, OP. When I learned C++ the second time, I fell in love with it: Teensyduino.

Get you some cheap-ass microcontroller and make it do something weird. It'll make your autism tickle.

Bullshit. C is simply bad and Ritchie should be revived so I can shame him.

>>57548982

C is outdated, learn C++17 instead

>>57548982
C primer plus 6th edition is a good one

C a modern approach is pretty good aswell

>>57551761
have fun with your unreadable lambda cancer

>>57551761
>Don't use C, use this obsolete language
I am LMAOing at your life
>N-no C is obsolete
LOL!

>>57549026
It isn't in the sense it doesn't teach programming as a process. It is a complete summary of the C language in the smallest number of pages.

Learn another language with more conveniences. You probably won't have any issues considering your severe autism. Once you understand the process, read K&R and you can commit an entire language to memory (which you can't do with more bloated ones like CPP or Java.)

>>57549376
C is the only time I've had fun programming, ASP.NET and Angular are currently making me want to blow my brains out, so yea, I'm hoping to get back to learning more C soon and try to get a job that uses it, or has something similar

I fucking hate the web

>>57554993
I'm in the same exact situation. Working on a side project at home in C and ASP.NET/Angular at work.

more like ASPIE.net amirite
