   Not sure about that, but these are an awesome tutorials on linked list and related exercise problems [1],[2].

   It's an old website for C programming from Stanford Uni by Nick Parlante [3].

   For full blown treatment on linked list and doubly linked list please check this an excellent book Pointers on C by Kenneth Reek (1998) [4].

   When I was learning C, I found most books only skimmed pointers, a topic I was having a hard time with. Reek's Pointers on C is a beginner C book in that it goes over all the novice stuff, but it has a concentrated focus on getting you to understand pointers. I recommend it.

   While I haven't read either of them, Pointers on C and Understanding and Using C Pointers both have good reviews.

   I would recommend "C: A Modern Approach", 2nd ed by King (http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Modern-Approach-2nd-Editio...)

   It's a hefty tome but that's not necessarily bad if you want to (re-)learn the language and the tricks in a proper way. Easily in my personal Top 5 books for C (The others are in no particular order: "Pointers on C", "Expert C Programming: Deep C Secrets", "The Standard C Library", "C Interfaces and Implementations".)

   Pointers on C helped me really understand pointers like no other book was able to do.
