Rating:  Summary: Not that good pre-schooler could do better Review: this book is nothing but regurge from other c book
Rating:  Summary: This book was horrible... Review: This book was really bad! There were no examples at all! I couldn't understand a single page form author. It is obvious that Kenighan has no idea what he's talking about. The book should be titled C The Hardway... I prefer and recommend C For Dummies. That book was easier to read and I was able to start programming really quickly. Do not get this awful book... there were no examples, and the explanations were really terse. I wasted my money on this book, I hope nobody else does...
Rating:  Summary: Great for the non-beginner! Review: This book is very complete and will help clear up any questions you have. After you have an understanding of C functions and syntax, you should definately purchase this book. The best beginners' book, that even a non-programmer can learn C from, is Teach Yourself... C (Second Edition, By Charles Siegel).Bottomline: This book is compact and complete, and is a must have for anyone serious about programming in C.
Rating:  Summary: You mean char review[7]; strcpy(review, "WICKED"); Review: What more can be said about the ultimate C reference / text? I've been programming for years in C, but still consult this book first when I need to find something. For some reason it's also the last book I consult. It's complete, precise, brief, and elegant.
Rating:  Summary: Indispensable when programming in C Review: This book is the best C books I have seen. The style, completeness, depth, and conciseness of this book are all excellent. It may take some effort to read but your effort will pay off very soon.
Rating:  Summary: char REVIEW[6]; strcpy(REVIEW , "WICKED"); Review: For a reference book, it is a must have. If you haven't read this book, then you haven't learnt the whole C concept. It also helps that the book is written by creators of C, and speaking for all students, it helped us PASS.
Rating:  Summary: This book should be on all developers desks! Review: 'The C Programming Language' is a comprehensive and concise look at the C language. This book is a bit light on advanced techniques such as bit-stuffing and algorithm efficiency, but it has it where it counts. Numerous developers at my company have repeatedly asked me to lend my copy to them while in the code phase. This is definitely the best C source one can have!!
Rating:  Summary: A Classic of Programming Literature Review: It is short. It is comprehensive. It is good. Come with effective examples (most being short implementation of famous UNIX commands), exercises (solutions in an other book by different authors) and a reference manual. The only one book to have for C programming, by its authors.
Rating:  Summary: Great C Programming book Review: This is the best C programming book out there. It gives you the facts, and has them all without a 1000 page book. Also, Kernigan and Ritchie are the creators of the C programming language.
Rating:  Summary: How I Learned C Review: This book is HOW i learned C. Granted, it is concise, and the price tag may seem a bit high, but you can spend twice the money for ten times the number of pages and still not get nearly as much as you'll get in this book. If you're learning, you may move slowly through the pages, but you'll learn faster than any other book i've seen. Needless to say, i recommend this to the degree that i'd say you MUST have this book if you want to program in C. (btw, it has a nice section on programming for UNIX machines, too.)
