Hey there,

I’m doing some mainlining stuff for Linux phones, so it’d be helpful for debugging to know C.

Sometimes I just have to figure out what a driver does that makes it fail, which is hard without really understanding the syntax.

So the question is: What are some good resources for learning C?

I mean, I roughly know what a variable or function is, as I’ve played with Arduinos before. I don’t need an explanation that covers what programming is, but I also don’t know enough to pogram an Arduino without googling the most basic syntax all the time.

I prefer guided stuff that makes me type and think over just reading specs as purely reading specs does not mean it’ll stay in the head.
