If you know the standard C language (either ANSI C89 or ISOC99), that's already sufficient - you could pick up the rest from the POSIX specification. There are quite a lot of good materials online for C (google helps a lot) although the simplest (but not the easiest) reference I found so far is still the "white book" or more popularly known as "K&R" - The C Programming Language - according to the prophets Kernighan and Ritchie. Most of the references I've sought were also online, particularly from developer sites (devshed, etc). Occasionally I would go to developer newsgroups as they really help (e.g. comp.lang.c, comp.lang.c++, comp.lang.python as I use these languages primarily). Mailing lists are also very beneficial. I've also compiled some material which I regularly used when I was still an undergraduate student - if you've got time check it out http://csdev.cas.upm.edu.ph/~pfalcone/compsci/techdocs/ William Yu also has very good material online which (I assume) he distributes to his students. Check out http://cng.ateneo.net/cng/wyu/ Of course there are other materials you can peruse, such as the mailing list archives for plug, ph-linux-newbie and compsci - visit http://marc.free.net.ph to view them. Lest we forget, Google is our friend(TM) :D --
