#482 — online resources for c language beginners

I have been playing with the k&R2 book, using some answers to 
the exercises provided with it. Without the provided answers, 
learning c would have been so difficult. Now, i understand how 
elegant c is. 
I really want to delve into the language. I am looking for a 
site that has code repositories for beginners and 
intermediates for practice. i want a respectable 
site. And thanks in advance, especially to K&R2.

I learned how to program C from The Complete C Reference by H. Schildt. It a neat book for beginners, although not very popular.

See <http://www.seebs.net/c/c_tcn4e.html> for an explanation of why it's
unpopular, and why being "a neat book" is not sufficient.

I think you just became Edward Nilges's new best friend.

It's unpopular for good reasons.

Every copy should be accompanied by a copy of "C: The Complete Nonsense"
<http://www.seebs.net/c/c_tcn4e.html>, written by our own moderator.  If
you learned C from that book, I suggest you read that review of it; it's
likely you have a lot to unlearn.

The problem for some of us is exactly the opposite. It is very popular 
even though the author has repeatedly shown a faulty understanding of C 
(and an even poorer grasp of C++) He writes fluent English  and is 
easily understood. Unfortunately that is not synonymous with being correct.

When a large number of experts find faults repeatedly in an author's 
books it should suggest that there is a problem.

Beginners need good text that are correct and will lead them to learn to 
program well.
