	A book that I have found very helpful is "Teach Yourself C in 21
Days" by SAMS publishing. If you are a student it is strictly impossible
to go through it in 21 days, but with mailing lists and other books that
you find at the library will help you immensely. Another one is "Object
Oriented Programming in C++", which has complete emphesis on OOP and C++,
and circles around Borland and Turbo, so be a little wary of that one.
Nonetheless with these two references I have been thoughly helped to
understand C and now I am starting in C++ soon I will have my first
proggie released, and I am wondering something __who do you get in
contact with to release software under the GNU public lisc.?__ If anyone
knows then please tell me, but back to the point, I hope that some of my
references are good for you. If you cannot understand "Teach
Yourself......." then I keep hearing that "The Absolute Beginners Guide
to C" is a good book too. If there is a dummies book out there then mabye
you might want to check it out too (even though it is a scary thought ...
programmers that know NOTHING.....)
