    Gotta learn some C programming and need some advice on how to get started. Any advice on books to look at or (preferably) websites would be greatly appreciate.

    The best C site on the Net, would recommend books by Herbert Schildt too.

    There's one called "practical c programming" in the OReilly range, I think it's pretty good, but there again I've not needed to look at it for years.
    if you want "the bible" then you need to get "the C programming language" by Kernighan and Ritchie (they wrote C!), but it's more of a reference than a howto
    C is a nice language to program in - been doing so for 10 years alltogether, and it's soooo powerful. enjoy it, and don't be afraid to experiment.

    If you're looking for some simple programs to experiment with, check out http://guinness.ucd.ie/comp1604. They're the questions we do for our practicals, and might prove useful for yourself.
