I understand that Java is pretty similar to C, or have i been misguided. I can progam to an average standard in Java will it be easy enough just to have a go at C or should i be taking a course or get some books?

Java is more like C++ than C. If you are proficient in Java, you may still find some of the C/C++ syntax difficult to interpolate. I suggest picking up a book (possibly C++ Black Book, one of my favorites) to help you with some syntax that is not intuitive.

Chi, I think you mean interperate rather than interpolate (which means to interrupt).
Jon, Java and C++ are very similar in structure, syntax, use and concepts, however, this would be like knowing spanish and trying to learn portugues. these languages are very similar but have many subtle and not so subtle differences.
