I am indeed a young buck... but now I find myself moving (backwards?)
because I have a BASIC/PHP point of view... and now I want to learn more
about C. Mostly I want enough knowledge of C so that I can at least go
out and start building my own PHP extensions. I have George
Schlossnagle's book which is *excellent* at describing the process for
building a module... but it assumes a level of proficiency with C that I
just don't have yet. :(
