Ok.

If I understand you correctly, you want to learn C/Ruby well enough
not to have to rely on someone else for the viability of your
mud project.

My read on things is that having an online tutor
of C isn't much help. My understanding is that you basically
need to hit the books, and teach yourself the hard way, or
take classes. AFAICT, it involves lots and lots of sweat, and
not much tutoring, except in the case of formal instruction.

However, I'm not a C expert. I'm only repeating the sort of things
I've heard in response to these sorts of requests in the past. If
I am mistaken, I'm sure the correction will arrive here swiftly.

I hope you find the guidance you seek.

In case you don't, I suggest you review an article I wrote a while
ago. It wasn't with someone quite like you in mind, but you may
find it helpful all the same.



It may be that a simpler way to code a mud will suit you better
than brute force learning of stuff you're not really all that
interested in in the first place.
