Hi all, What resources do you recommend for getting familiar with the C programming language? I own the Kernighan/Ritchie text and it's helpful, but it'd be nice to supplement it with something that's more "beginner" oriented.

I have experience programming in higher-level OO languages like Ruby/Java/C#, so I find I'm in a funny spot. I'm aware that things like pointers exist, but they've always been abstracted away in the languages I've used so far. It'd be nice to find a resource that introduced C for those programmers who are used to having their language/runtime handle pointers, memory, etc. for them.

All answers much appreciated!
