- Well, perhaps I'll learn more from it. It's the only book I have come
- across that is not a pain to learn from, so at least I'll be able to
- get an understanding of the language in a reasonable amount of time. I
- can learn about my mistakes later, and thus learn about some of the
- pitfalls of C as well.

- But while I'm here, do you have any alternatives to recommend that are
- nearly as easy to digest?
