Go read K&R[1]. It shouldn't take more than a week's worth of spare time.

HELL NO!

There's a reason why my lecturer always refered to it as "Knall & Rauch C" (Bang and Smoke C).

Get the Harbison & Steele instead: http://careferencemanual.com/

C is a little language. It doesn't /need/ a 500 page tome. K&R is not something to learn programming, and of course, does quite poorly when used as a textbook for that purpose. It is, instead, for programmers to learn C. -- Aaron Denney -><-
