Most books which claim to teach you a language in '21 days' or '24 hours' are less than satisfactory. On the recommendation from a friend, however, I bought this book and was pleasantly surprised! It covers everything from the basics to quite advanced topics, while always keeping the material immediately understandable. The writing style is informative, and you never feel thatyou are reading filler pages.
The bonus chapters are also good. They give you taster introductory lessons of Java, C++ and C#. Whilst they will not by any means teach you these languages, they help in determining which way you will take next.
The CD is what gives this book its fifth star. It contains all of the source code, in which I found no bugs, and also very useful utility programs including the Dev-C++ IDE which I found extremely useful.
Note, however, that whilst this may teach you the rules of the language in 21 days, as with all languages it may take more than a year to gain the experience to competently write efficient, stable, and fast code. Just a thought.

What can one say? I havent't even finished it yet and already I'm blown away. As a progressing beginner who came back to C after learning pocket C for Palm OS, I was a bit unsure if this would be any better than other 'beginners' books' I've tried. I made the decision to buy it and I'm glad I did. Not only has it shown me lots of new concepts (in a manner that while fairly serious, is anything but dry), but I've learned to see things I thought I'd already got the hang of in a whole new light. Each section has a series of questions in the shape of a quiz and a 'type and run' section with test code to compile and run. These things definitely make all the difference and prevent you losing heart. I gave it five stars desipte the typos, because the authors have succeeded in creating a book that is both informative and engaging (rather than entertaining) at the same time. I wish I'd had teachers like this book at school.

This book provides an exellent introduction to the what is a fairly difficult subject. Longer lessons may take more than a day and need a lot of concentration, but are worth spending the time on.

Great book, but HUGE!
I have no idea how anyone would be able to READ this book in 21 days. It definitely has a lot of info in it, but it is absolutely gigantic! Read more

Don't buy this if you are serious about learning C
This book is truly awful: it's full of mistakes, takes a rather patronising tone, uses the terrible "type now, learn later" method of teaching, and is about 700 pages longer than... Read more
