I'm currently re-learning C, and I've been going through one of the books that they recommend (C Programming - A Modern Approach).

Whilst "A Modern Approach" is a great book, it's hard for me to keep focused as I'm not really implementing anything other than the exercises and projects (for which there are too many IMO, and I struggle to get them all done).

I've been working through Build Your Own Lisp in parallel, and it's great fun. I get to work on an actual project, and any holes I find in my knowledge can usually be filled in via A Modern Approach.

"Effective C" is usually what I recommend people nowadays on Libera #c, which is where that wiki originates from.

The books were triaged based on the feedbacks we heard, the kind of questions that are asked on the channel, or how confused those readers are after reading through them.
