I'm using the source code for the open-source
Thompson-Davis Editor
<http://adoxa.altervista.org/tde/>, "a simple, public domain, multi-file,
multi-window binary and text file editor written for IBM PCs and close
compatibles running DOS, Win32 (console) or Linux" to learn C and curses
programming.
You may have noticed its coincidental acronym :-) and yes, it stores it's
configuration information in $TDEHOME. TDE is small but non-trivial, and I
think it will be a good resource for someone like me, who is attempting to
get a grip on programming in the *nix environment; it's not so big as to be
overwhelming, yet not as useless as HelloWorld.c.
Thoughts?

I say any
(almost any) learning experience is a good one.
Go for it.
