My experience in C is mostly from second edition of The C Programming language which is a very old book. What has changed in C since it was released, what obsolete or deprecated functions should I avoid?

You can also look at the ‘C’ specifications that have come out since (like C99). These specs will indicate what they have added/removed/changed in relation to the previous standard.

If you want to see what the future holds for ‘C’, have a look at C1X, which is the upcoming ‘C’ standard.
