As you described above, programming takes much more than knowing the 
syntax of a programming language. I suggest reading The Art of Unix 
Porgramming. This book doesn't directly help you in library selection or 
"modern C programming", but may help you develop a sense that would ease 
some of your decisions about how you approach the problems you listed.
