In case you are not aware of it, C can be broken into two sets of functions.
The standard (ansi) ones which will work on any computer and those
functions that are specific to a type of computer, like the Amiga, which
will not work on other types of computers. So to cover the first set of
funtions you will need a good reference book on C. I found The New C
Primer Plus and Teach Yourself C in 21 Days very helpful. As far as the
Amiga functions are concerned, there is a large collection of files on
Aminet called the C_Manual (I think). It covers most of the common
calls you will need for programing on the Amiga. It is a little dated but
most of it still applies. You may also want to take a look at #
#http://www.snippets.org# and #http://www.blackfive.redhotant.com/amiga-c#.
They both have coding examples. Should keep you busy for some time. :)
