C and UNIX : Tools for Software Design

Rating:
Summary: If you have used C before, it's not too bad!
Review: I just completed a college course titled "Introduction to the C language and Unix". Our instructor used this book, and I found that, as a beginner, I had a very hard time following the concepts. I constantly had to turn to "The Waite Group's - C Primer Plus" for detailed explanations. And it only provides just a short sampling of the Unix environment. If you have used the C language and Unix, and are somewhat comfortable with it, this book will probably serve you well. If you have never used C or Unix, look elsewhere!
