+    - C is everywhere. You'll see examples in books, lectures, videos, *everywhere* while you're studying.

+        - This is a short book, but it will give you a great handle on the C language and if you practice it a little 
+            you'll quickly get proficient. Understanding C helps you understand how programs and memory work.
