One thing I've noticed over the years is that the majority of C coders out 
there, no matter how good they are, never really master the ability to 
composed and decompose complex declarations and references. I don't say 
this in a perjorative fashion, but I see it a lot and it's important to be 
able to distinguish between an array of pointers to integers and a pointer 
to an array of integers, i.e.,

int *foo[10];
int (*foo)[10];

Going through K&R is standard, but this is a basic complaint I've had for 
a long time.
