One approach: Pick a simple project that you completed in a language you know. Now try to do it in C. C isn't good for CRUD webapp type stuff, though. For example, if you tried to write a C program that processes a GET request, does a database lookup, and then serves a webpage, that's going to be a big effort. (There are some libraries out there that make this easier.) Some important points: - learn about declaring the types of your variables, a big difference compared with scripting languages - learn about compiling vs interpeting - learn about memory management and pointers (Higher level languages use references. The implementation of references is in C with pointers.) - learn the common C standard libraries (stdio, stdlib)
