Is learning C programming that difficult?

I've been trying to teach myself C for some time now. I've gained a


good working knowledge of the basics. But, I seem to be stuck. Some of


the more advanced subjects (such as link lists, how the random


function generator works, etc.) are just not clicking.





When I see someone else's advanced source code, I find it hard to


decipher. I need a good reference book, learning software or perhaps,


an online course to take me to the next level. (As cheaply as


possible, I might add).





I would like to eventually move on to MS Visual Basic. I would like to


create some program applications to run under Windows. This may be a


little further down the road.





Can anyone make any suggestions?

Is learning C programming that difficult?
Yeah, learning a programming language is literally like learning a new language (if not harder). From what I've heard and seen, once you learn one, the rest are a piece of cake.





A good book to read when trying to learn C#/C++ would probably be the "For Dummies" line of books/ebooks. Once you have everything within its binds to a good working knowledge, I would suggest purchasing a Wiley's book/ebook. The Wiley's brand of books provides a little more indepth knowledge into the functions and whatnot...





Wiley's also provides books on very advanced working knowledge of the programming languages.
Reply:well, VB has nothing to do with C, and it would be better to learn it first than learning C if you plan on doing so. Also, you should learn C++ instead of C, as it has way more capabilities, and was a huge improvement upon the C language.
Reply:If the subjects seem too advanced, that simply means you're making too big a jump. If you're too eager to do very powerful things with the language, you might skip important medium difficulty tricks that serve as a base for harder things. My suggestion is that you just continue learning gradually, making fun things as you go along. Everything will come together, and you'll be understanding advanced code without even realizing you're doing it.
Reply:i'm not a programmer but i should say:





anything is not that difficult if you have your heart set to it...





visual basic is very different from C
