#3For those who might not be familiar with Beej, this is not his first or only guide. They're all excellent. There's a link near the top of the page: "Click here for other Guides"

#4Dupe. Discussed last month, though the link was a bit different: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34946811
Re: Beej's Guide to C Programming
#5Are there any modern c tutorials that teach and guide the learner through practical programs. For instance a real world backend service ?

Beej's Guide to Network Programming was how I fumbled my way into socket programming AND C. I can't remember if I first encountered it in the late 90's or early 2000's. It's funny to think about that world now. Unless you had a shell account or ran Linux or some sort of Unix you had to _pay_ (or... not pay) to get access to a C compiler.
If you were lucky you'd get access to some FTP servers via IRC that might have some ZIP files full of good text docs, or wander upon some hacking clan's site that had good tutorials or info. But more likely you'd try to cobble it all together from as many sources as you could find.
I'm really glad we're in a time, and for the most part a community, that values sharing information free and wide, and supporting FOSS tools that put all this knowledge within reach.

Seconding. This would be great to see.

your timeline is a bit off there, but yes

#9My past undergraduate self will always be thankful to Beej for the network socket programming guide.
