This sounds a lot like the way I learned C.  I had a project to do for
a class, and I didn't want to use Ada.  I had heard a lot about C and
decided to use it.  With nothing but the compiler reference manual and
the book "Advanced C: Food for the Educated Palette" by Narani Gehain,
I managed to do quite well.  I don't have it with me, but I can provide
all necessary info if anyone wants it.  The book has good examples and
a good index, which is all I need.  If you are a decent programmer, you
should have no problem with a slightly advanced book of this sort.
