Find and read Kernighan & Ritchie's Bible, and uh. . . why C not C++?

because i think qvm's are writen in C

QVM's are in C, as is all of tremulous.  C++ is (mostly) a superset of C so learning C first is probably easier.
And it's hard to learn, impossible if you try to learn with tremulous or any other equally convoluted and complex codebase.
Any maps not in the MG repo?  Email me or come to irc.freenode.net/#mg.

Well I suppose... (oh not idk, I was taught C deliberately...) llook for a person who'll spend his/her time explaining the basics to you. Reading books you'll know most of the stuff, but you 're likely to know more learning on others' mistakes ;)
