Based on the request by Mr. Jamshid i thought why not just start the useful links and tutorials for novice C programmers so they dont have to do a lot of GOOGLE like the one present in Python Forums.

If the moderators like the concept here they can sticky this or delete this post if they dont like it.

If this thread manages to stay, anyone intrested can post any important links or resources they know of and can start a new thread if they have any doubts.

i am plannig to add few more sites here, just checking what are all present here to avoid repetition.

I have been using a computer for sometime but never had time to learn programming. On retirement I now plan to try my hand on programming.
Some browsing gives me an idea (may be incorrect) that I strat straightway with "C" as it is a mid-level language and also I have the book "C for Dummies" with me.
Is my plan OK or shall I try some other language wither a book on that ?
Also I shall be obliged if somebody can give a short guide from this thread Starting " C "
Regards.

I saw forum Java, after read totural Java, i wonder while...if you want to learn java successfully, you need to study C firstly.
I am a beginner, i want to have a good knownledge about IT. I am going to begin from here;)
Thanks for you help, guy!

Even after starting C, most books (or links) only say what we should do. But the user(for me example) remains ignorant about the "DO NOTS", and by mistake, might indulge into the wrong programming practices. This link will surely help.

http://www.cprogramming.com is a great website for beginners-advanced.

hi everyone,
