I would recomend "Master C" I can't remember who the author is.  It's a C 
reference book and a GREAT tutorial program that took me about 2 weeks of
8 to 5 work to go through.  It really teaches you C with out pain.  They have
you write programs and program segments right off the bat and have lots of help
and notes.  I have never taken a course in C and this helped me get my present
job.  You can get it for about $25 at Price Club or $45 at a regular bookstore.
