I've found a book called The Spirit Of C very useful for beginning programming in C. I can't remember the rest of the information on it since it was a long time ago I used it. This isn't strictly a book, but worth its weight in gold and this isn't just my opinion either, it's shared by other programmers I respect for their capabilities. Mix Software wrote Power C which is a C compiler that's ansi standard and also sysv. Even though it won't work on linux, you buy it say for dos you're not buying it for the compiler. You're buying it for its manual. Half the manual is tutorial and that's the front of the manual and it's best not to read it either. It's the back half of the manual you bought the whole package for, and that's a functions library. It has each function described like they'd be in linux man pages, so there's nothing special about that. It also has worked example programs for each one of those functions so you can see by compiling and running the program how the function will work. Now with all of that being said, cursor positioning is different in power C than it is in gcc. with gcc you use goto(xy(row,col) and in Power C you use curspos(row,col) and they come from different libraries but other than that, it'll give you a good entry into C.
