I encourage you to #include <stdint.h> for fixed sized types like uint8_t
(also stdbool.h for boolean types)

I often use websites like https://www.onlinegdb.com/ (use an ad-blocker) to
test small functions. Useful for debugging control flow.
No need to install a compiler or anything.

Pointers, header files, and type inference tripped me up when I was
learning.

I found small projects like writing a menu system for a 16x2 character LCD
to be very educational when I was first starting out. (Books, videos, and
online courses are fine, but embedded development in C is different than a
C program running on a PC)
