Question 18.9

Are there any C tutorials or other resources on the net?

There are several of them:

``Notes for C programmers,'' by Christopher Sawtell, are available from ftp.funet.fi in pub/languages/C/tutorials/sawtell_C.tar.gz.

Tim Love's ``C for Programmers'' is at http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/languages/C/teaching_C/teaching_C.html .

The Coronado Enterprises C tutorials are available on Simtel mirrors in pub/msdos/c/ or on the web at http://www.swcp.com/~dodrill/controlled/cdoc/cmain.html.

Rick Rowe has a tutorial which is available from ftp.netcom.com as pub/rowe/tutorde.zip or ftp.wustl.edu as pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS/programming/c_language/ctutorde.zip .

There is evidently a web-based course at http://www.strath.ac.uk/IT/Docs/Ccourse/ccourse.html .

Finally, on some Unix machines you can try typing learn c at the shell prompt.

[Disclaimer: I have not reviewed these tutorials; I have heard that at least one of them contains a number of errors. Also, this sort of information rapidly becomes out-of-date; these addresses may not work by the time you read this and try them.]

Several of these tutorials, plus a great deal of other information about C, are accessible via the web at http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/index.html .

Vinit Carpenter maintains a list of resources for learning C and C++; it is posted to comp.lang.c and comp.lang.c++, and archived where this FAQ list is (see question 20.40), or on the web at http://www.cyberdiem.com/vin/learn.html .
