Materials for Learning C? (for contributing to the kernel later) (news.erebion.eu)

Hey there,

I'm doing some mainlining stuff for Linux phones, so it'd be helpful for debugging to know C.

Sometimes I just have to figure out what a driver does that makes it fail, which is hard without really understanding the syntax.

So the question is: What are some good resources for learning C?

I mean, I roughly know what a variable or function is, as I've played with Arduinos before. I don't need an explanation that covers what programming is, but I also don't know enough to pogram an Arduino without googling the most basic syntax all the time.

I prefer guided stuff that makes me type and think over just reading specs as purely reading specs does not mean it'll stay in the head.
