Product Description
The first two editions of Teach Yourself C were Osborne best-sellers, together selling over 100,000 copes. Teach Yourself C, uses a proven ``mastery'' learning approach to one of the most difficult languages to learn. The book is structured in such a way that it provides objectives, followed by minimal discussion, and concise examples; it tests the reader's understanding with multiple exercises (answers provided in the back of the book). The book first tests understanding of individual concepts and then tests understanding of a given topic in a larger setting. If the reader goes through this process, he/she will gain mastery of the fundamentals of the C language. Some readers will pick up concepts by simply reading the sections and occasionally pouring over examples; others will closely study all examples. Some will try the exercises. Others will learn by reading through the answer section and some will do all of the exercises. The reader is given different options to learn the material, and thus control how they learn C.

Customer Reviews & Comments
This was the book that introduced me to programming. I have read though others since this one, but this was by far the best book for those that don't know how to program. It does only one thing, teach you the language of C. It does NOT teach you how to really put it to use. But if you don't fully understand the tool you are using, how can you put it to use. This book WILL teach you the language of C, after reading this book move onto the books that teach you how to use the language in the environment of your choice. This book will give you the foundation to allow you to focus on the concepts of programming discussed in other books rather then trying to learn both a language and how to use it.
