Rating: Summary: A complete waste of money! Review: Looking at the other reviews, I can not help but laugh and think 'Gee, I wonder if the author entered most of those'. Anyways, on with the review! I found this book to be, well, absolute garbage. If you are looking to learn C programming, this is not the book for you. It lacks much detail, and is not clear on definitions. I could go on & on about this book, but I will not. The bottom line is: I would highly recommend not buying this book.
Rating: Summary: An excellent book for first timers! Review: If you have absolutly zero programming experience and wish to learn the very fundamentals of C programming, then this book is for you. The author presents the subject matter in a clear and enjoyable format.
Rating: Summary: No longer an "absolute beginner" Review: If you've never programmed in C before, this is the book you must read. It is clear and precise, yet not at all boring. I'm 15 years old and I found this book excellent. I'm now moving on to more advanced books. Good job, Perry!
Rating: Summary: Great! Great! Great! Review: This was probably the best book I have ever read on programming. I am only 12 years old, yet this book made it easy to grasp the concepts of C. The chapters are information packed, yet fun and not over-technical. Don't waste your money on any "Dummies" books. This is what you need if you want to learn C.PS:The author also writes a great QBasic book called "QBasic by Example."
Rating: Summary: Excellent starters guide Review: I enjoyed this book very much. Now I am ready to move on. It was the best book I have found for beginning C programming and I am sure that it will remain on my reference shelf for years to come.
Rating: Summary: An Absolute Necessity for the Beginning Programmer Review: This book is wonderful. It describes complicated processes in detail with beginners in mind. I love this book! I strongly recommend it to anyone who is trying to learn programming.
Rating: Summary: This book rocks Review: I've never programmed before cause I thought it was too hard.Well I bought the book and I was surprised on how the author took you through all the simple commands.He explained everything in plain English.If you want to program in C you should get this book.Trust me I know!
Rating: Summary: Made me a Gregg Perry fan! Review: Now I'm on to another Greg Perry book, C++ Programming 101. Thanks Greg.
Rating: Summary: The best C beginners book ever made ! Review: This book teaches you using a frindly english for your understanding and in less than 5 days you start programming simple programmes .
Rating: Summary: All the other reviews are right on! This book rocks! Review: I'm only 13 and I'd never programmed before in my life! My dad got me this book to help me learn C and it's the best book ever. He has a lot of C manuals, but this book is waaay better than any of 'em. Believe me. I know.
