Well... I guess he 'mentioned' it a couple of times in the theory
lessons of our C-course, but in the laboratory lessons, we never got to
do something that had to do with modular programming.  Big mistake if
you ask me... This has as a consequence that it needs some time for me
to get used to the idea, although i think my
student-beginner-programming skills aren't THAT bad...
I am happy I got to know Linux in March this year, it has already
learned me a lot about Computers/hardware/Unix and look... right now I'm
writing my very own Linux program and I'm learning a lot from it! :-) 
Life is beautifull :-)
