I have done some programming in BASIC.  I had a class on it in college and
do
some small programs like developing a check book balance program in BASIC. 
I
am getting Borland's C++ free with my new Gateway 2000 66VL-Bus computer.  

What I would like to know is how I should go about learning C.  I got a
book 
from Que on learning the C language.  I plan to read this book and any
other 
beginner books I can find.  Is this a good way to learn C?  Some of the    

concepts in C are a little confusing and it appears it will take me quit a 

while to learn C.  How difficult is it to know enough about C to develop a 

program like a card game for instance.  Am I way over my head trying to
learn
C, or should I master BASIC first.  I heard they will come out with a
program
called Visual C(a take-off of Visual Basic).  Would a program like this
help 
me to program in C, or do I need to learn everything about C first.        

I have lots of free time to learn C, I'm just wondering if I'm over my
head. 
Any comments would be appreciated.
