Thanks guys for your input. I am more than likely going to go out and buy a C programming book. Not sure what good books are out there (ones that have an easy to understand format with lots of examples). Maybe C programming/language for dummies?
Are you looking for a book or other form of reference on "ANSI C."
Don't get caught up in the newer C-direvtitives like C# or Obj-C. They won't teach you what you need to know to program the Arduino. (And by learning ANSI C, you will be on your way to learning the other forms.)
