Once you are logged in ? Nope.

More experienced in "C" ? Well, perhaps after creating

your own Unix clone, you would feel that you could claim

to be experienced . . . .

Learn Lisp first, it's infinitely easier.

You CAN teach yourself Lisp ! ( I did. )

"C" is not for the faint of heart. You can expect to take

several university courses just so you can call yourself

a beginner.

-

All I've ever taken in "C" programming is a single

three month university course ( one complete

school term ).

-

I think I could still succeed at following through

the with the logic of someone else's programming.

But I now cringe to think of writing a worthwile

program of my own from scratch.

( Does this exhibit the "Use it or Lose it" principle ? )

-

Allow me to make this comparison: My German

instructor promised the class, "Some day I'll learn

Spanish--when I have a weekend free." The relative

difficulty of German compared to Spanish is the

same as that of "C" compared to Lisp.

-

Use Lisp to relax as you sweat out the "C" .

( You'll need something to do while you

    COMPILE your "C" programs. )

-

Clojure is a Scheme that can convert its code to Java.

Gambit-C is a Scheme that can convert its code to "C".

( So you can avail yourself of coding examples

   "written by the experts". )

Launchpad has Gambit-C as one of the

projects it's working On ?

Dude, I'm so sorry.

You just became a Guinea Pig.
