I think this has merit not only for beginners to programming, but also for programmers who have never touched C. I like that it gets straight to business.

Good intro, and props to the author for introducing it on three major desktop platforms, using modern build tools.

Agreed, but not for beginners. I just about fall into the second category (I am a school teacher) - I have published (internally to my school) a couple of VB apps and written a lot of code in Python, but I have never touched C. I understand nearly all of the terminology and feel that I would be able to use this to learn more about C. Beginners (of whom I have taught many!) simply wouldn't be able to use it.
