Wow, that's really tossing him in at the deep end of the pool!

H&S is a critical reference that belongs on every C programmer's shelf,
but it's no help at all for learning programming.  There's lots of good
stuff in kernel code, but a lot of it is highly specific to its task.

I don't have a good beginner's reference, unfortunately.  For an
intermediate text, Kernighan and Ritchie is my favorite.  I also like
Plauger's standard C library book for good examples of library-type
code.
