I disagree. If I'm learning a new language, I'm too busy worrying about the commas and semi-colons, not whether or not I'm using strcat or strncat. Worrying about overflows, signedness, etc. is something you do once you're more comfortable with the language. It would be nice to provide links to articles and books on why one should use snprintf instead of sprintf or what is integer overflow and how do you deal with it and other topics for writing secure code. However, as a beginner, it will simply not register since I'm more worried about having used a period instead of an arrow to access a struct member. Perhaps, instead of writing a beginner C book, an advanced C book is needed more.
