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 svr-ftp.eng.cam.ac.uk in misc/sawtell_C.shar and garbo.uwasa.fi in /pc/c-lang/c-lesson.zip .

Tim Love's ``C for Programmers'' is available by ftp from svr-ftp.eng.cam.ac.uk in the misc directory. An html version is at http://club.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/.

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/CC/Courses/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 Also, this sort of information rapidly becomes out-of-date; these addresses may not work by the time you read this and try them.]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://vinny.csd.mu.edu/learn.html .
