> look around youtube for tutorials on C

This is likely to be horrible advice. I don't doubt that there are good C tutorials on youtube, but there are probably also hundreds of extremely poor tutorials that are seductive and even highly rated because the people rating don't know better.

K&R C is excellent. I don't like overbearing advice, but "Every serious programmer should read K&R C" isn't bad as far as such advice goes.

I don't particularly like the "Learn X The Hard Way" series (maybe it is the right way, but I find it too painful), but there is Learn C The Hard Way [0].
