I found both books extremely useful for learning the basics, and it only took me about 2 weeks to go from complete newbie (former programming experience was about 2 weeks of BASIC on my Vic20 and about a dozen DG Scripts) to where I could halfway understand what was going on inside Circle and begin adding/removing code to my hearts content. They won't teach you everything there is about C, but they make it a lot easier to learn the hard stuff. -- "Misery is boundless" -Xual the Torturer, on the Eve of the Sundering.
