News! Hey! Check out my tech blog!—and tell all your friends! This version of the C guide is the result of the major overhaul. The PDF system is completely rewritten for what I swear is the last time. At least now it should be far more Unicode-friendly, and look better, besides. Feedback and error reports are always appreciated!

Hello, comp.lang.c freaks! Please keep in mind this is an alpha-quality document. If you have corrections, I'd love to hear them, but understand that even I might not have read that part of the guide yet. There are glaring errors! Additionally, I might not know what I'm talking about when it comes to something! So e-mail me!
