I am planning to participate as fully as I can, even though I am a perennial lurker on most lists. I assume this will mean doing exercises from whatever book(s) we choose to use, asking questions of the list when I hit a snag, responding to other listmembers' questions, and sharing our various solutions. Perhaps as we move along, some of us can also introduce projects that we are working on--for instance, I am fiddling with a pet project involving writing/reading data from an xml file. If other members fo the class find themselves working on similar projects, I would be happy to share whatever I have done with the list.

May I also second the suggestion that one of the list moderators or one of the volunteer gurus go ahead and pick a book, rather than us trying to reach a consensus? I have ABC, K & R, and Practical C, and would certainly be able to invest in other books if they are recommended.

Yours in anticipation,
Lakshmi
