Hey everyone! I'm about to dive into Computer Science & Engineering and I'm really eager to learn programming, starting with C. In high school, I learned some basics like printf, scanf, and loops. I found a couple of books that look interesting: "C Programming: A Modern Approach" by K. N. King and "Programming in ANSI C" by E. Balagurusamy. I've got some experience using desktop Linux and basic bash commands, but I'm looking for a head start before university. How deep should I go into learning C, and how can I come up with project ideas? Also, after mastering C, what should I tackle next? I'm genuinely excited to start this journey, and any advice would be much appreciated!

It’s a bit unfortunate, but honestly, AI can sometimes teach you programming faster and more effectively than traditional books, especially for popular languages like C. You can use interactive platforms or AI-based tutoring tools for a hands-on learning experience.
That’s fair, but I'm unsure of my learning path. I thought books would help me structure that. In high school, I didn't dive deep into arrays or data types; I just did simple projects like calculators and series summations.
