Summary: Not Bad!
Review: I've searched through the most popular books on C and C++ trying to find something on how to determine how much memory is available for your data. I was looking for something comparable to the "memavail" command in Turbo Pascal. A programmer wants this information if he plans on putting most or all of his computer's available memory to best use. Finally I found something, and it was in this book. (I am amazed that other books on C offer nothing by way of advice or anything else in this area.) It was an example of how to use the memory allocation function (malloc()), and it also provided an excellent example of what you can do with C pointers. My compliments to the author(s) of this book.

Summary: Nice book
Review: This book is nice one, I'm sure that it could make you understand the language. I'm a C++ programmer, but somehow I have to read/analyze C code very often (since C is more popular than C++ in Japan). This book is well-done in many aspects. However, there are still something/functions that shouldn't be use. For example, the author used "gets()" function, which is dangerous.

Anyway, overall this is a nice book on C tutorial. Note for noive/beginner don't hope to finish it within 21 Days, remember that learning any language, not just programming language, take times.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Fun to frustrating
Review: This book starts off excellent, giving the user the belief that C is easy, etc. In fact, it is not easy and you need to have some programming experience before attempting this book. For the first 5 days no experience is necessary, but this changes quickly
