    What Hacker News says

      Love the intro and overview — looking forward to more!

      These weren't mentioned in the post but have been very helpful in my journey as a C beginner so far:

      - Effective C by Robert C. Seacord. It covers a lot of the footguns and gotchas without assuming too much systems or comp-sci background knowledge. https://nostarch.com/Effective_C (Also, how can you not buy a book on C with Cthulhu on the cover written by a guy with _three_ “C”s in his name?)

      - Tiny C Projects by Dan Gookin, for a “learn by doing” approach. https://www.manning.com/books/tiny-c-projects

      - Exercism's C language track: https://exercism.org/tracks/c

      - Computer Systems, A Programmer's Perspective by Randal E. Bryant and David R. O'Hallaron for a deeper dive into memory, caches, networking, concurrency and more using C, with plenty of practice problems: https://csapp.cs.cmu.edu/

      This was just released, I haven't picked it up yet but it's definitely on my wish list
