Forum :: Programming :: Learning C

Hey everyone I'm wanting to learn C and I was wondering where I should go to learn it, because there are a lot of websites to learn this awesome language, but some are super old like this: http://aelinik.free.fr/c/
But I was wondering if it is out dated or something like that.
Could some one point me in the right direction please :D?

Thanks heaps.

When i started to learn some things about C++, i read a book called "Let Us C". It was pretty helpful but its pretty long. Just google search it and it should help.

C is an old language i think. I dont see many people using it anymore but if you want to learn it, go ahead.

I don't think C is an old language as such. If you're wanting to program apps for Mac OS / iPhone then you'll need C knowledge I do believe. A lot of people on my computing course still use C for a range of things. However most of them do prefer C#/C++ over it. I jumped in straight with C++ but I was told that C would've been a good starting point for C++. Still haven't learnt C and I guess I'm doing alright :P

C and C++ have only one big difference, and it's that C++ is object oriented. C provides structs but nothing other than that. It is an old language but it's still very relevant. I'd look at cplusplus.com honestly. There's a ton of good information there and it's extremely useful.

I want to learn C for hardware programming purposes, PIC's AVR's, you know. Thanks for the tips, what do you all think of link I posted should I learn from that? I understand it well, I'm just unsure because its quite old.
