Well first off, I'd like to argue that using snippets will help you. I know that when I first starting coding ROM a long time ago that isbasically where I got started. Download a snippet that seems mildly interesting, put it in, see what it does and how it does it. If you do this with a variety of things you should learn abit about C and how to navigate through the ROM code, then you just have to modify what you've learned to do what you need. This worked well for me, at least I like to think it did ;) I've done most everything I've wanted to for my mud and haven't used a snippet since I can remember.
However I'm not posting just to argue :) The one page I can think of that comes closest to teaching C with ROM is Peter Vidler's site. I mean it requires some C abilities to see what he's doing, but he does break down some snippets and even some more of the basics like linked lists which you will need to become intimately familiar with.
