Summary: It's generally known as Kernighan AND Ritchie
Review: The introduction credits Ritchie with originally developingth the language, so it seems unfair to leave his name out. Also, I don't think ANSI is part of the title. You are unintentionally creating the impression that this is a different book from the very well-known and highly regarded K &R.c

Summary: Too elegant to be an introduction
Review: There are many HYPEs on this book. "bible on C","a MUST", "I'm falling in love with this book!"... But this is NOT an introduction or primer on C. The misunderstandings like those have annoied many dummies severely for many years. The book is just a good reference for only knowledgable men and women.

Summary: Absolutely wonderful
Review: This book is not only a clear, concise, interesting introduction to C; it's also a great way to learn by example how to write clean code. Both the text and the sample programs are well thought out, easy to read, and simply intelligent. I'm not too familiar with other ways of learning C, but I'd hazard a guess that this is by far the best. It's simply a wonderful book

Summary: A must have...
Review: This is the most useful book I've ever read. It has everything for every level of programmer. If you are just starting to learn C, read this book. If you are simply trying to brush up on your coding tactics, read this book. It explains all of the parts of the language in a concise, meaningful way, not in the twisted and cryptic fashion of most programming books. If you are the least bit interested in programming, purchase this book

Summary: THE C Bible
Review: This book is the Bible of C and I strongly recommend
everybodywho wants to learn C to get a copy of this.
In case you didn't know,Kernighan and Ritche were
the people who invented C!

Summary: K&R all the way!

Summary: The most elegant programming book I have ever read
Review: This book is not "for Dummies". It assumes that you already have some knowledge of structured programming languages (i.e. Pascal). For example, this book spends four well-written pages explaining everything you need to know about functions. If you don't know what a function is, this will clearly not be enough. However, if you do know about functions, this book will not drone on and on for an entire chapter or two on the subject like some of the foot-crunching tomes the size of an encyclopdia. The book is expensive ($40) for its size (approx. 250pgs.), but it is worth every penny. To quote the authors: "C is not a big language, and it is not served well by a big book." As a bonus, almost anything you need to know about C can be found in seconds using the excellent index. It should be noted that this is a language reference and will NOT tell you how to use your editing environment or compiler. In summary, intermediate or advanced programmers should be able to learn C with reasonable proficiency in a short amount of time.

Summary: Great, not for new comers though
Review: Great book, not for people who nothing about programming. If you "look inside this book" (or find this book at a local bookstore) and can read the intro pages, you could see that they come right out and say that their target audience should know about variables, and other basics of programming (functions and decision making if-else, i think). I bought this book used, and apparantly the person who owned it before me did not check out the content nor what was assumed of the readers. Although it may sound kind of mean, I found it hilarious as I was flipping through the pages where he had written in things like "What's a double?", "whats this: || ?", "LOWER = 0; ?". If you're unsure whether this book is for you, click on that "look inside this book" above and try following along in the first chapter. If you get lost, get an easier book. If it's just right, then go for it.

Summary: Good
Review: Good, Vary good C book. But I would not recommend getting this books :(.
Rating: 
Summary: expired
Review: No offense intended - but this is for the old version of ANSI C (known after the name of this book!) and does not cover the new 1999 ISO standard and there have been significant changes to this language. Go with something newer.
