Is there a place which lists the man page categories?
i.e. what are 2 and 3.
man man doesn't have them

Such as?

I am all for trying to learn things "the right way", however
given that I have never really spent considerable amount of time
doing C I think that Codeforge may not be a bad starting point.
Also since I don't plan to do anything highly low level or too
big with some luck I may not bump into the limitations of the
IDE. Either way right now I just need to start programming C on
a regular basies, the rest I will deal with when I get there.
