The O'Reily book is ok, though by definition it's dated.  Don't know HOW
dated currently, I read it years ago.  I know that Jon Corbett did at least
one update to it, maybe it's more up to date now.

I must say that if I'm going to be doing C development, I'd rather do it in
the kernel than on the command-line.  In the kernel, you get tracebacks!
Yay!  Kernel work isn't really that tough.  It tends to be pretty easy to
read code.  It's not really any worse than hacking any other piece of code.
As I said, in some respects, it's better.

Thanks,
Sean
