This is how I learned C as well (demo coding), and a book like that makes a lot of sense IMHO: learning C with computer graphics. Now this would probably be SDL

This is how I learned C as well (demo coding), and a book like that makes a lot of sense IMHO: learning C with computer graphics. Now this would probably be SDL based, but as long as the user receives the initial help to get started with a simple Makefile and the calls to get a window, it will be a lot similar to the old times of int 10h.
