Review: It is definitely a book for a starter by using simple, but not miss, example. On the other hand, it is also for the people who did not has any programming background.

Summary: ANOTHER GOODIE BY G.PERRY
Review: NOBODY WRITES LIKE GREG PERRY. THIS BOOK, LIKE ALL HIS OTHERS, WILL TEACH YOU PROGRAMMING WITHOUT THE HEADACHE. THE PRICE IS GOOD FOR WHAT YOU GET. BUT.. IF YOU DON'T MIND A LOT OF READING AND PAYING A LITTLE MORE, I DO RECOMMEND JAMSA'S C/C++ BIBLE. START WITH G.PERRY AND FINISH UP WITH THE JAMSA'S BIBLE AND YOU'LL BE PROGRAMMING.

Summary: JUNK
Review: Not enough clear examples. Too chatty for me. Just tell me how to program. Would much prefer a cookbook-style book. Had I known it was this bad and wasn't required for class, I *never* would have bought it! He does things like not clearly indentifying code that doesn't work. The book is rife with typos and plain old inaccuracies. How anyone is supposed to learn from that, I don't know. I was really disappointed because the Que series is generally very good. This was a notable exception.

Summary: Excellent book for the beginning C programmer.
Review: Perry does an excellent job in presenting this topic. Many of the books I have read go to deep for the beginning C programmer. Perry offers a clear concise explanation of the topics and uses easy to understand exercises. I found this to be an interesting book to read as well, and strongly recommend this for anyone who has an interest in C programming, or may be using a text book that might seem hard to follow.

Summary: Frustrated by errors!
Review: This appeared to be a good book for beginners (I'm one!) until I began to have problems running the programs. After a few typographical errors I ran into more difficult problems in chapters 13 and 14 on functions. I first went to Que website to look for a list of errata but there was none. Later I went on line to a c/c++ newsgroup and got help. In the above chapters the functions in the examples should have been prototyped (declared before the main function) but were not. I would have more patience with this book if the publisher made some effort to correct these errors, other publishers do. This book will frustrate beginers rather than enlighten. I would not recommend this book.

Summary: For Beginners Only
Review: This book is for the beginners and not for the Advanced C# programmer. There are a few statement structure mistakes in the book, but i would have never knew that unless i had read the fabulos book. The author also responds to your questions which is a plus although he may take a while since he is a buzy individual.What could have made this book really better though is some excercises to be done to test your C# programming knowledge, to see if u really understand it. All in all if you are looking for a book to start you up on C# programming this is the book for you.

Summary: Good for beginners & Weak for developers
Review: This book is full of errors, and it made me wonder where in the world this author got so many misconceptions about C. Evidently, he either has not read the book by Kernighan and Ritchie (the originators of C), or has not understood it, yet. If you want to become a serious programmer in C, consult the 2000 reviews at ACCU (Association for C and C++ Users) Internet site. If you just want to impress your friend at your first date, make sure your date does not know C better than this author, because this book is just as bad as so many C/C++ books in the market.

Summary: Great for Beginners
Review: This book should be the textbook for Beginning Computer Programming. I am a relative beginner to programming. In the past, I have found programming tutorial books to be absolutely boring because they lacked examples. This book is ALL examples. It is a very good way to teach the language because at every stage of the learning process, I am forced to take an active role in the learning process. I am halfway through the book and I have already typed in about 20 mini-programs that have progressively become harder and more complex. The result is that I am naturally becoming comfortable with the C computer environment.
