Hello !

I am a young computer enthusiast thirsty of learning more about C programming . However , I need some help finding resources .. sure .. google is a good tool but it doesn't guarantee that the info it provides can be taken for granted , and it's sometimes a hard to use tool .

Right now I am familiar with :
(besides operators , for , while etc.)

-> pointers
-> string manipulation
-> functions (creating of course)
-> structures, unions etc.
-> console i/o
-> file (binary, text .. I know that in UNIX everything is considered a file .. I'm referring to the "real" FILES) i/o
-> preprocessing

As you can see .. it's not much ..
I would like to really know more (a lot more) about it .. socket programming .. low level input output etc .. however .. all the books I can find treat only the items given above ..
If anyone could tell me .. as much resources they can think of .. it would be great .. (just one thing: they should be free and available online ..) . So I'm looking for tutorials, e books etc. Also , I would appreciate it if someone would give me a systematic plan of the things I should learn .. . Another thing that would help me would be suggestions of source code to read ..

And finally .. you can't learn the language without programming . I'm mostly looking for programming tutorials (tasks) like : "implement a program to do <this> and <that>" etc. .. mostly tasks that focus on building efficiency ..

.. if anyone would be willing to help with those .. it would be great ..

Note : my platform is Linux/i686

Hi,
Here is a good link:

I hope you find it useful.

You may find it helpful to look at codes provided freely for books. Take a look at wrox.com, samspublishing.com, advancedlinuxprogramming.com.

There are also a lot about Linux low-level programming, available as HOWTOs, tutorials, or tips and tricks. Just make a Google search for one! (There are a lot available at tldp.org).

As you have gotten more familiar with C programming, it's a good idea to start looking at other ones open source application. It's kind of Hack! and is very interesting job. I love to do something with open source games .

At last (I advice as a grand father), not to try to learn every thing (mostly different and without any conceptual relations) about something like Linux. It's good to know programming, but there is no need to waste your time, learning emacs short-keys. Try to write programs efficiently and more and more rapidly.

That’s all I think.
Whish it help.

I haven't read all of either of these but intend to one day.

Couldn't hurt

The book "Advanced Linux Programming" [New Riders Publishing] is freely downloadable (PDF's, 1 per chapter).

I've posted to quickly I realize. Mohsen already mentions it.

anything for more basic programming? I think it may be time to move beyond bash scripting.

krock: O'Reilly's Practical C Programming is a very good beginner's text that gets into mildly advanced C. It is largely geared to good style as you learn, but it is very helpful to start with and then you find documentation on individual parts.

Also, you can't go wrong with having the glibc manual handy.
