Since were on the subject of coding.. could anybody recommend some C books for me.. Basically starting from Hello world.

I dont know dick about C but i want to start learning. I feel i can accomplish a lot more in C over time than i could making crappy little shell scripts.

The K&R book. The #1 book out there if you can already code some language.

Ive also found C Primer Plus to be decent:

Pratical C is an excellent book! Another I found was The C Programming Language.

Crap. BSDJunkie already posted it. :P
