How to write a C Program
Introduction
If you are just learning how to program, C is a great language to start in.
There are many reasons for this: C is a more concise language as compared to
languages such as Pascal i.e. it has fewer keywords and therefore it is
easier to learn. Yet C is more powerful than Pascal. The power of C is
inherent in it's use of control flow constructs and data types. Also C
allows modular programming through the use of functions. Finally once you
know C and have mastered the basics of programming, you can easily learn C++
or java which are syntactically both very close to C.

I didn't realize C programmers felt so threatened by Pascal or that fewer
keywords meant a language was easier to learn.  I'm tingling from all of the
great counter examples.
