The "The C Programming Language" is the standard book (K&R as you hear it) that most people learn by. If you havnt picked up a copy, you should, as it will greatly help you (and it is short, only 200 pages or so). I think it would be useless to explain what the * before the functions mean, because you would then just have more questions (if you really want to know, its because the function returns a pointer to something). Anyway, I've seen it on amazon.com for $5 or so. Good luck :) and hope you have fun.
