[Techtalk] C programming study group

[Bonnie King]

For getting into the kernel I highly recommend the Eudyptula Challenge:

http://eudyptula-challenge.org/

I'm working through it now despite having to basically learn C at the
same time. It should be much easier for you if you're proficient in C
already.

It's not really appropriate for group study though as you're supposed
to do your own work and asking for help in public will get you banned.
