c programming question

If i start now ( already have a bit of information) how long wil i take me to learn C programming? and is it easy to learn or hard, any suggestions?
 
Have you ever programmed before? Or used a formatting language like HTML? How well do you understand how a computer works?
 
If you're like most people, it will probably take you a few months to learn the basics and years and years to master it.

How long would it take to learn the syntax of the language? Probably an hour, maybe a few hours. How long would it take to go from nothing to writing useful software in C? A while. I did not consider myself a 'good' programmer until I had been doing it for years.

I wouldn't recommend C as a first language unless you've got something to do you _know_ needs C. It's a low level language (as far as high level languages go...) and you do all your own memory management and such. How about Java? You will find it much easier to do satisfying things like getting a window to open.

 
If you have the thought process and get a good training class/book; 4-6 months to get something decent.

Professional will take 3-5 years.
