Ask HN: What are some good resources for re-learning the basics of programming

1 pointsby jj-abramover 10 years ago
I have been programming for a while now, but not in a traditional way. I have done some Objective-C, Java, HTML, etc., but I never really started with a good book on C.<p>Can you recommend any books or resources that start from the basics of C, to good core concepts that an experienced programmer should know?

C is not the place to look for good core concepts. I recommend <a href="http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-001-structure-and-interpretation-of-computer-programs-spring-2005/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;ocw.mit.edu&#x2F;courses&#x2F;electrical-engineering-and-comput...</a> instead.
