programming. I could get what I need from a book, but I need an instructor

<DIV><SPAN class=822342102-12102005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I know
a smattering of other things. All languages have similarities in program
flow and branching. A review of basic syntax and variable-types then a
dive into 'C' uniqueness and data structures would suit me best. Linked
lists, pointers hash tables, hmm starting to sound like a data structures
class.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

would be even more interested in is the environment around C in Linux. GCC
and make and the C libraries. ... The stuff you need to know to
contribute to a project. Malloc, threading.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>| Anybody know of a good place locally (DSM Metro) to learn 'C'?<BR>|
Really just plain C, but maybe C++ if that's all there is.<BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Do you want to learn C for credits or
programming?</FONT></DIV>
