Ooooooooooh!  You're going to get flamed :-).

Mr Schildt is not held in high esteem around c.l.c.m.  His code tends to
be specific to MS DOS compilers, rather than portable C, and to contain
a fair number of errors.

A good C reference is "The C Programming Language" (Second Edition) by
Kernighan and Ritchie.  (That's Ritchie as in Dennis Ritchie who created
C).

If you are comfortable with elementary C, you might want to look at a
text on algorithms.  Robert Sedgewick's "Algorithms In C" is a good
book, but there are many other good ones.

Reading this newsgroup (c.l.c.m) is a good way to learn, too.

Opinions are divided as to whether C++ is progress or a backward step
:-)
