I have a friend who is just hankering to learn X.  I told him that I'd
ask the people on this group what suggestions they had for learning
how to do it, and so here I am.

What's the best way to get somebody started on X?  He's got a fairly
good background in C.  Names of books are fine, as are on-line
documentation, suggestions on code samples, etc...

Please send to me at portnoy@athena.mit.edu as this group gets enough
traffic as is.  If there is interest I'll post a summary.
