I began teaching myself C using the following book:

"A Book on C"
by Al Kelley, Ira Pohl
ISBN# 0201183994

It will turn up if you do a search at amazon.

Hope this helps.

The Eagle book will give you an excellent overview of Apache
internals, how mod_perl relates to it and and how the Apache
structures are exposed to an interested programmer, C or Perl.

As for C itself you could still do worse than Kernighan and Ritche
IMHO.

HTH,

Dave

I would like to be able to read the internals of mod_perl (the module that
plugs into apache).  I would like to understand how it works with apache
and to do this I need c coding skills.  So, regardless of my reason for
wanting to learn c (though it does relate), does anybody have any
suggestions for a good book or set of books that one can learn c from
(rather than just a language reference).

Why do you need C if you've got perl?

[OT] Language Question...

2000-09-01 Thread David Hajoglou

I would like to learn about the programming of mod_perl.  While I am an ok
perl programmer, I know very little of c code.  Can somebody suggest a (or
several) book that I can start to learn c from?

Thanks,
David
