Can you recommend any C programming books?

[omar khan]

Any books that helped you progress in C programming?

Where do you begin with C programming?

Can you recommend any websites?

How many months or years did it take you to become knowledge to write
software?

[ajm]

read the reference manual (Haribson / Steele) and take a look at the
CFAQ when you run into problems. many think you should be reading K&R
too.

start programming early, C is a contact sport and it doesn't help to
get buried in books.

how long it is going to take depends entirely on you ;)

K&R yes, I have that eBook. : -).

It is rather confusing to begin with, however the only way to get better at
programming is to practice, practice, practice coding and writing as many
programs.

It will probably take me a year to get to the level to write the software,
at the advanced stage maybe 2. Remember I have have got many ideas to
startup, but programming skills need to improve. ;-)

It's an felony to have such a copy. The K&R is a paper book and it is on
sale. Copies are illegal. Here is a free e-book:

Copyright violation of that magnitude is not generally a felony.
Also, if he also had a paper copy [though he did not indicate such]
there may be some jurisdictions in which it is not illegal to also
have an electronic copy no matter what the source. Under traditional
copyright law, receiving an illegal copy of a work may not itself be
copyright violation at all.

But, seriously - it's not that expensive - just buy it. it's less
than US$40 new and well worth it.

I started programming in high school I think in 1978, and
I'm still learning. It takes many people a _good_ 6 months
to shake out the sillies and a good year to be in "beginner mode".

No, it's not. It's not even a felony to make and distribute them.
Without delving into the legalese too much, "felony" is a word reserved
for grave criminal offenses (for suitable values of "grave"). Copyright
violation is not one of them in any legal system I know of.

Even so it's typically illegal to make and distribute copies without
permission, but not to simply own them. This is disregarding the
morality of the thing, of course, which I'll mercifully leave untouched.

Pardon the off-topic pedantry, but misconceptions about copyright are
too common and relevant these days to ignore.

The US Digital Millenium Copyright Act introduced a new offence
of "criminal copyright violation" in instances where the value of
the copied work exceeded a certain value (and the limit is low enough
to include most name-brand commercial items whilst excluding
most personal writings and home businesses.)

Canada does not use the word 'felony', so technically nothing here is
a felony under Canadian law. Copyright violation falls under
the Copyright Act, not under Canada Criminal Code, but the Copyright Act
provides for up to 5 years in prison per copyright violation offence.
When I searched the Considated Statutes And Regulations, I was unable
to find any information about what classes of offences in Canada result in
"a criminal record".

Thats almost four decades of experience?!?!, surely by now you would be able
to write many thousands or millions of lines of code alone or as part of a
team of programmers?
