Customer Reviews & Comments
A good book for beginners/students. It's easy to read and well structured. With each chapter you build on the knowledge gain in the previous chapter. For me chapter 10 on memory functions could have been left out, since I think programmers won't care so much for these functions given the amount of memory and the much better memory handling of modern computers. Overall it's a good book, whit lots of examples, which convey the concepts to the reader. Each chapter is closed with a complete program showing the structures tought in the chapter. There are also a few exercizes at the end of each chapter. C is also a great langauge to start with. Once you learn C, you have the ground for basically anyother programming language. After studying this book, you will be able to write some good C programs. It's a good book. If you are ready for a somewhat more in depth coverage, try A First Book of ANSI C, Fourth Edition. And if you want to give Java a try, checkout Java Programming for the Absolute Beginner (For the Absolute Beginner (Series).). Try also google: C tutorial, or C programming, or anything like that. There are lot of great sites outthere with eitehr tutorials, or text, or sample code, or tests. Try it. You'll learn a lot.
