Are you certain of that...?

Difficult to say. It's generally considered to be one of the harder programming languages. You may take to it like a duck to water. You'll seriously be in the minority if you do, though...

If you really are sure about learning C, then this'll either get you started/put you off....

If it's purely for a 1-off app, then I'd say don't bother.

I didn't find it too difficult but there again I didn't start with it. In my day it was (proper) BASIC, or you dabbled in assembly language.

I'd suspect given a decent teacher it's not a bad place to start, but that still means you have to work at it. Why not just give it a try and see ?
