Learning to Program in C
N. Kantaris


The only book you'll need, 9 March, 2001
Reviewer: (glyn.davies@cr2.com) from London
I bought this book about 8 years ago, as the cheapest C book in the shop.
It won't teach you how to program.
It will teach you how to use C.
I still have it on my desk, and use it whenever I need a quick reference.

HE book for learning 'C', 14 June, 2000
Reviewer: A reader from Cambridge, England
Its only a slim volume so I'll keep this review slim too. It contains everything you need to know to get you started in 'C', presented in a clear and concise format - and it costs next to nothing. Even after 6 years I still occasionaly find myself picking up that little yellow book for reference.

The C Programming Language
Brian W. Kernighan, Dennis M. Ritchie

An indisputably classic computing text, Kernighan and Ritchie's The C Programming Language, 2nd Edition, is the standard reference for learning and using ANSI C. Written by the co-inventors of C, this concise tutorial has a well-deserved reputation for clarity and precision as it defines one of the most successful programming languages of all time. It's an essential reference, which will be useful for beginners and experienced programmers alike.

This masterful tour of C features concentrates on essential programming constructs, from the basics--such as data types, variables, operators and flow control--to more advanced topics. Short, effective programming samples are the rule here. (Many samples work with strings and text files). Along the way, the authors don't shy away from the thornier C topics. For example, when discussing pointers, they look at pointers to pointers and even pointers to functions. Later in the book, they offer useful code for a flexible memory allocation scheme and a binary tree. The text concludes with the formal specification for C and a compact listing of the functions in the C standard header files.

C is still a great first programming language, and its influence is felt in Java and C++, both of which support many programming constructs based on C, while adding support for objects. The C Programming Language is still an excellent reference to one of our most successful and efficient programming languages. It's a book that deserves a place on the bookshelf of any C/C++ developer, regardless of your experience with the language. --Richard Dragan, Amazon.com

Expert C Programming
Peter van der LindenBook

Description
Written for experienced C programmers who want to quickly pick up some of the insights and techniques of experts and master the fine arts of ANSI C, this volume passes on the wisdom of a highly experienced C compiler writer and his colleagues to help programmers reach new heights, and avoid common software pitfalls along the way. Using an original approach and a humorous style that makes deep knowledge both easy and accessible, it gathers into one place, tips, hints, shortcuts, guidelines, ideas, idioms, heuristics, tools, anecdotes, C folklore, and techniques that are often penciled in margins and on backs of papers by those working in the programming trenches—working on many different kinds of projects, over many, many years. KEY TOPICS- Each chapter is divided into self-contained sections. Includes extended discussions of major topics such as declarations and arrays/pointers; offers a great many hints and mnemonics; covers topics that many C programmers find confusing; and features one of the best introductions to C++, and the rationale behind it. Throughout, technical details are interspersed with many true stories of how C programming works in practice, and each chapter ends with an amusing C story or piece of software folklore. MARKET- For software engineers and computer programmers who are writing, developing, testing, debugging software on either IBM PCs or Unix systems.
