I'm doing this book precisely because programmers who already know a language aren't ever getting around to learning systems programming or how things work.

- wyclif 16y agoI hear you, I voted a few days ago for the C book and this is why I did (and I'm primarily a Python guy).
- Jabbles 16y agoOk, that's fantastic! I hope you succeed. But it's a bit misleading to call it "Learn C The Hard Way" after LPTHW, if your intended audience is experienced programmers. The whole point of LPTHW was that it was for beginners. Top of their website: "The book is a very beginner book for people who want to learn to code. If you can already code then the book will probably drive you insane. It's intended for people who have no coding chops to build up their skills before starting a more detailed book."
- alnayyir 16y agoAs Zed stated, his concept of LCTHW isn't for beginners to programming. K&R has sated that need. It's easier to understand what I'm aiming for when you've already gone through the rigamarole of learning C from the existing texts.
