Talking about C programming under Unix, I have always
wondered how?

Well, I'm not talking about the rudiments... I have
always wondered what the "next step" is after learning
to program in C(or C++ for that matter). I wont mind
reading individual opinions on this ( I am telling
this because I have frequently been a recipient of
"Well, it depends on what you want to do")
It is enough even if you tell me, what you did when
you were at this stage(yes, I am asking for the
personal experience)

I regret putting the question in a wrong way. All I
meant was - in which order should I learn and not why
does it take so long(or so little time) to learn?
Anyway, your advice was useful.
