I have a plan to get into some programming in future and C is one of the considerations and it's very important language so I would like to ask if anyone programmer is in this community to suggest me some resources? I prefer video based courses but it sounds like books are very detailed sources of information then suggest what you know best.

Note: I know this isn't a professional community for the subject but I know for good quality resources I have to pirate some shit so I asked the question here because the members probably have their resources from piracy so they can help me more; sorry for expecting too much from y'all but career is career.

The first course we had at uni that also acted as a programming introduction to me was "Data Structures and Algorithms in C" and after that they followed with a C++ course which introduced OOP.

Every other language introduced after these clicked so naturally and easily thanks to their added syntactic sugar and memory management simplifications, so I think that starting with C is indeed the best start. I think some universities have their courses made public, but there are surely enough free online resources tackling this. I found this video after a quick search that might help.

I'm sorry I can't provide any (tried and tested) suggestion, but I just wrote because I wanted to confirm that if you don't shy away from C and start learning from it, other languages will feel like a breeze, and in the end, the languages are just tools...and learning to use these tools easier means you can pick the best tool for the job easier, and that kind of flexibility rules!

So I really wish you the best in this journey!
