I first used this book as a university text in a first semester course. As a beginner in programminng and C I was totally confused. The book was too difficult to read. Later on though, I found it an exellent reference and guidebook. It covers the Language very well, but you need some knowledge beforehand. In my first year of software development this book quickly ran out of steam. It does not address complex issues in much detail. I felt it lacked the "why" of coding. Sorry mates A very good book for programmers who want to learn C.

This book is excellent, and makes a great textbook for college-level use. However, it is definitely not for the lazy programmer! If you want a quick tutorial in C or C++, read a "..For Dummies" book. If you want to learn and truly understand the ins and outs of C, This is the book that can explain it to you. Do not be intimidated by its large size: the first 15 or so chapters are C-oriented, while chapters 16-21 delve into C++. The book also contains a large set of appendices that contain quick reference guides to keywords, syntax formats, and names of common header files with a list of functions each header file contains.

This book has a comprehensive coverage of C programming from a beginners point of view. Except for some typos on the example codes this is definitely a must have book for beginners in C. You also get a glimpse of C++ as a "better C" in the same book!.

This book does an excellent job of introducing the beginning C programmer of how to quickly get a firm grasp on the C language. I especially liked how the authors presented the C language in the context of using sructured programming techniques, rather than just teaching the C language ad hoc. The authors are extremely adept at making a complex subject seem almost trivial. This book is a "must have" for anybody trying to learn C.

I am presently using this book in a college C class. I find it to be very open ended. A topic is introduced, and then you are left hanging. I also feel that it is hard to read and understand if you do not already have a foundation in programming

I am reading this book on the recommendation of a friend. My school does not teach a class in C. I find this book very easy to read and filled with good examples. It is easy to understand. It was done wonderfully. When I finish it I will purchase their book C++ How to Program.

This one is an exception. The best I have found! My professor just gave us the assignment of reading chapter 6, 7, and 8... and I am already in chapter 12. This book is certainly fun to read!!

Excellent for people who are intrested, not for collage.
