I am designing a short course to allow Pascal programmers to "move up"
to C.  Emphasis will be on coding style and avoidance of pitfalls.
The course would consist of some discussion and a lot of student self-study.

Some of the points to be covered:
o Coding style (using some of the documents that have appeared on the net)
o Homework: includes students writing selected standard C string functions
  so they know what they do and how much processing they entail.
o Pitfalls in C ( & operator precedence, uninitialized pointers, etc.)
o Some discussions about portability and Unix(tm) etiquette (accept lower
  case answers, etc.)

I would appreciate any thoughts and/or materials on the subject.
