(in english, french or italian) or any other web resources, it
should be a pleasure to invest my spare time (and much more than
that) to be of any help in contributing to Gretl! It really
deserves it!
Thanks, Artur! Here are a few resources:
* The "bible" for C programmers: Kernighan and Ritchie, "The C
Programming Language", second edition, 1988 ("K&R"):
http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/cbook/
* The tutorial book I first used, and found very useful (and
perhaps a bit easier than K&R for a first source): Leendert
Ammeraal, "C for Programmers: A Complete Tutorial Based on the
ANSI Standard", 1991. This may now be hard to find, I'm afraid.
Note that it's not the same book as "C++ for Programmers" (by the
same author). The one I'm talking about is pictured here:

* Resources page by C guru Richard Heathfield:

This offers a critical listing of some C-related web sites.
Allin.
