Summary: Best value for money
Review: 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!.

Summary: Best book that I have ever read!
Review: This book is a fantastic introduction to programming in C/C++. Brilliant for both learning and reference. When I first bought it, I thought that I would never read it all. But now I have read all of it ( some chapers twice ) very carefully and followed the principles given. I got the highest mark at University for programming in C due to this. Now I'm a very fluent and confident modern programmer, respect due to the great start this book has given me.

Summary: Excellent for the dedicated self-starter (C or C++!)
Review: 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.

Summary: Condensed style. Mediocre book..Learn C++ 21 days much ++
Review: This book is typical writing by those who know a subject
and have no ability to put themselves in there readers
shoes. Typical technical writing, written to impress the
author. I'd like to see the authors take someone who has
never studied the subject and see how they fair with this
book as their only guide...I believe that they would do very
poorly. Jesse Liberty's "Teach yourself C++ programming in
21 days" is a far superior book. I own several books on the
subjects and this one is amoungst the more mediocre ones.

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: This book not only has in depth explanation of C, but it also covers quite a lot in C++. The appendix pages are great, but what i love most is the list of functions in the standard library.The book itself is clearly written with many differen color text, and color boxes used. Although this book is a little too big to read through, it is excellent for reference.

Summary: Classroom=(yes) Individual=(no)
Review: This book was designed to be a classroom text, and because of such it contains a great many exercises at the end of each chapter. Which is great for the 'classroom setting.' However, for the person who just buys this book off the shelf to learn on thier own, those exercises are virtually useless because the CD that contains the answers is only available to instructors. To me, this is about like selling someone a car without any tires. This is a great book, and I would have easily given it a 10, but because I'm trying to do this on my own and don't have access to the answers, I'm forced to give it a 5.

Summary: Excellent book for C programmers or the programming clueless
Review: This book was the very first book I bought on computers programming (ok it was the second -- the first one I bought when I was 10...but this was the first serious one). I bought it when I was 12 years old, and the examples and text were very clear to me! If a 12 year old can understand this, think how easy it will be for you! This book does a great job of explaining every detail of OOP and programming, starting the book off with the basics of computer programming. You don't need to have any programming experience in order to read this book. I was a little disappointed in the actual result of it's claim to teach both C *and* C++ in the same book. It had very little on how to use C-specific things, not even mentioning how to use printf(). Thsi book is also great for those of you who know C and want to learn C++. You will have the easiest time learning OOP. The book also has some great reference information in the back, such as the C standard library, number systems, etc.

Summary: Great Beginner's guide
Review: This book was very helpful in learning the basics of C programming. Gradual introduction to C++ helps move on to OOP. It does a better job then those "Teach yourself" books. If you're looking on learning the basics of C Programming, this is an excellent resource. However, do NOT think this will teach you everything you need to know about C programming. This book was also used for my Unix and File Structures in my college courses. Definitley a good buy!
