Podcast: Modern C for Absolute Beginners
Otherwise study real, mature, well-written C programs. There's a wealth of techniques and tricks that aren't really documented anywhere, but rather picked up from others. Recommendations off the top of my head: BSD utilities, musl, and SQLite. Or simply study the source for your favorite C software. Also, something good posted here recently: The Architecture of space-shooter.c.

space-shooter.c: A cross-platform, top-down 2D space shooter written in C using only system libraries
I wrote space-shooter.c as a personal challenge to create a game from start to finish in C without using any 3rd-party libraries and wanted to share the source as a reference for anyone who's also interested in this type of game programming. The source code is heavily-commented, and I'm also writing a (still WIP) architecture guide that goes over the design decisions and details I learned about working with OS APIs in C: https://github.com/tsherif/space-shooter.c/blob/master/ARCHITECTURE.md
