Hi,

Here, I've designed syllabus for C and C++.
This will be helpful for beginners and intermediator.

Please visit here:

And tell your comments.

Well, my immediate reaction would be simply that I don't recall you being
particularly active in this newsgroup, and "pandi" isn't among the names
that leaps out at me as belonging to a C expert. So perhaps you would be
so kind as to explain why it is worth my time to visit your site. Can you
demonstrate, right here in this newsgroup, an existing knowledge and
understanding of C that is sufficiently encyclopaedic that I can
reasonably believe - against almost all experience - that there might
finally be someone around who can write a decent C tutorial, and thus that
it might be worth the trouble of visiting the site?

Haha, good answer!

You think? It was rude, made assumptions and generally came across as
egotistic ravings from he who feels his position as a C Guru could be
under threat.

It is "indeed" presumptive to say the least, to make being a c.l.c
"regular" a precursor to writing a C tutorial of any sort.

Also, why the author should address anyone here individually in order to
"convince" them to visit the site is beyond me. Visit, look, and do what
you think best based on what you find seems more appropriate to me.
