There is currently a really cool project I suggest (if you're interested in learning / seeing C in action) called Handmade Hero[1].

He[2] is making a game, from scratch, in (mostly) C (but with a little bit of C++ niceties thrown in), and streaming[3] the entire process for an hourish, Monday -> Friday. It's intended to be a tutorial in both learning C and learning from-scratch game development (where from scratch means using GDI and like, parsing your own wav files).

It's really cool to watch, he's an entertaining guy, afaict is a pretty decent teacher (I know zero C, but C-style languages, and I _think_ I'm keeping up), so I recommend checking it out.
