[Coco] C Programming in General

[Jim Cox]

James:

I couldn't agree with you more.  While the Prata book that 
I suggested is good, it wasn't very engaging in my 
opinion.  I am looking at Practical C Programming from 
O'Reilly where each section is building on the last and 
adds to the a project.
