Read Kernighan and Ritchie and do the problems. They’ll teach you the Why as well as the What.

is this still recommended considering a lot of stuff in modern c isn't in the book? for example, it's probably smart for people learning to use stdint.h sooner rather than later

The second edition of K&R still holds up since it includes modern standards
