Phew! You made it through this first article, and you've already learned a lot about C programming. I'll reiterate what I said about practice.

Learning something new can be overwhelming. I started running a couple years ago, after being mainly inactive my entire adult life. When I was getting started, I read an inspirational book called The Courage To Start, by John "The Penguin" Bingham (Bingham 1999). A key point John makes is that the hardest part about starting to run at the age of forty-three is taking the first step. This advice holds true to learning anything new, no matter what your age is, though.
