Format:Paperback
I have bought this book after reading a few chapters at the University Library.
I am really amazed on how good this book explains the C programming Language on every little detail.
It's a huge book, plenty of content which I have not reached the half of it yet. But thanks to the wonderful approach it takes, I have been able to "assimilate" much quicker other C based languages such as PHP, Java and so on.

Really a GREAT book.
I would really consider to buy this book first and then pass to other languages or even K&R if I'd be you.
Five stars is not enough!

This book is excellent for beginners, it takes you from 0 to fully competent C programmer.
It is big, really big, and covers every C feature I can think of.
What I like most is that the author explains things clearly, either by example or diagrams, and does not assume you have any programming skills.

He goes and explains how data is manipulated by the CPU and how it looks in computer memory. The book also covers C99 features "the latest C", and how they differ from previous versions, book also covers compiling code under different OS's, including Linux, Man and DOS/Windows.

Other nice thing about the book is, you can almost read any chapter isolated, examples do not drag on from previous chapters which is really good, unlike other books, they use one example application and they build on it throughout the book! Which can be good, but a nightmare if you wanting to study certain chapters only.

I hope you find this review useful.

To summaries, this books does its job nicely, which is, to teaching you C.

Modern C programming 13 May 2007
Format:Paperback
Readable and well-explained in a straightforward order. Each chapter has useful review questions, with answers. Plenty of exercises give opportunities to try out and to learn what's been presented (and model solutions to some of the problems are available on the publisher's web site). Coverage of the C99 changes and extensions is embedded wherever it's relevant.
