i'm trying to learn C but i don't really have any idea where to start. reading K&R cover to cover doesn't really seem practical for learning at all and most of the things that turn up when you try to google C tutorial seem entirely useless or retardedly basic hello world programs. it seems more like a reference guide for people who are already proficient in another language, anyway.

the extent of my C knowledge so far is being able to write project euler solutions. any advice / direction?

I learnt C through the reading of the various pieces of code available on internet.
for example initially I watched the exploit and proof-of-concept... big error because usually they are horribly written by people who know nothing about C.

and I learnt the rest with the practice and only with it.

so I suggest you to start with a small guide that can introduce you in the language and then write some little tools for practice and necessity

i don't really know where to find examples of code on the internet that are low enough level for me to dissect and learn from. could you link me some?

you must start with what you want to see, I mean what's the purpose of the snippet you want to see and then use google.
for example do you want to see how to use openssl?
search: "openssl.h" "stdio.h"

do you want to see how create, read and write a file?
"stdio.h" create file

do you want to see how use sockets in C?
almost all my proof-of-concept code uses them :)

just play with the search in google
