What are the best resources for learning C?

A solid starting point is *The C Programming Language* by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie. It was written by people closely involved with the language, so it gives you a concise explanation of C’s core ideas. It’s best used alongside plenty of small programming exercises.

Try learning through projects instead of reading only. Arduino experiments can give you practical challenges, although Arduino commonly uses C++. Once you’re comfortable with the basics, rewriting simple projects in C can help you understand the differences and strengthen your skills.

A beginner-focused book such as *Learn C on the Mac* can also be useful. Despite the title, much of the material is about C itself rather than the computer platform, so the concepts can still apply elsewhere. The main thing is to choose one structured resource and practice consistently.
