Starting from 0

A bit about myself- 

Not much of a writer, if the truth must be told. Code or prose. I've been scripting and debugging for over a decade, but apart from some very small, personal applications, I can't lay claim to any programming accomplishments. Too distractable, too lazy and as time goes on, much too scared of failure. This is here to keep me accountable. I've picked up any number of programming languages, but can't claim any deep proficiency with  any of them, with the possible exception of PL/SQL. 

And now the goal- C has always been the bugbear in the closet for me. Of all the languages I've looked at, C has always been the one I've 'got' the least. Even C++ was not fun at all, even though I got it going enough for your standard university programming assignments. I'm going to finally jump in and do some actual C programming. I don't want to look too far into the future yet, but the basic goals are to learn and practice C for at least one hour a day, at least  four days a week. I'll just have to see where it goes after that. This writing space intended to keep me accountable and in view of my progress.
