When we first started working in C, we took a program we'd written in a
another language, with then worked it through in C.. by our side were a couple
of books on C programming so if one guy's language wasn't real clear, the
other guy might be more understandable hehe.

Some online links to online tutorials:

There are some older tutorial files in the PDN collection in PDNCEE, such as
Bob Stout's snippets file (straight ansi C programming though).

Bob's C snippets:

Not sure if the following will run on your windows box.. they're pretty old :(

or, you may want to check out this page:

http://www.coronadoenterprises.com/tutorials/cpp/index.html

Or.. buy any book in C/C++ programming with the word "Beginner" in the title
:) Like I said, we always bought a couple or raided the library for them..
then moved on to others.

Take care,
Janis
