With all this talk of which language to learn first, second, and never,

recently. At one time, it was the 'bible' of C programming. Is it still
as important in the Cocoa world?
-Chilton (who has an opinion on this, but is curious what others think
nonetheless)
K & R will always be relevant as long as 'C' is still around. And 'C'
isn't going anywhere ;o)
I'm sure that most of us are not willing to surrender 'C' just yet :^)
Since Cocoa is OS X development only, and there are plenty of 8.x & 9.x
machines to program for, 'C' (along with C++, Carbon and even some
Pascal) will be around for quite a while.
