learning C

Should I start with The C Programming Language? I already know some basics (hello, world, obviously), but will the book be good as a first handbook?

The best way to learn C++ is to start your project, find the libraries & headers you wanna work with, read their documentation  and start the process of trial and error. As for a book, all you need is to borrow one from a library or something, cause you'll only need it for hints and fundamental stuff.

PS: Most Microsoft documentation sucks supreme ass
