An effective resource on how to program in the C language This book goes over the basic concepts of C programming, and is ideal for the novice C programmer who wants to establish competence in writing C programs. The material is probably similar to what would be taught in a first or second university-level course in C programming. Topics covered in this book include program control, arrays, pointers, file I/O, strings, data structures, and other concepts. To top that off, it devotes several chapters to introductory C++ programming. Presentation of the material is done quite well. The text is easy to read, and contains a good number of examples and diagrams that foster understanding of the concepts as well as the syntax. Overall, this book is a valuable resource for those learning or refreshing their skills in the C programming language. | ||
Excellent to learn C This is the best book to learn C, step by step, very well written, easy to follow. It covers all C basics. Highly recommended. | ||
Very helpful in learning C. Best for beginners and great manual for advanced stage in C programming I am an aerospace engineer learning some computational methods in fluid dynamics and I started to learn C programming with this book. I was a complete beginner and with the use of this book I can really say to have a fair knowledge of C programming. | ||
Straight Forward and to the Point The book is really easy to understand. It is straight forward and to the point. Most of all technical terminology is defined for the beginner. I especially appreciate the fact that the authors have mentioned that they have tried to present C in such a way to be the first computer language for beginners, despite in traditional terms, Pascal being taught as the first programming language because of it's known structured programming discipline. In my lower years of education, I have had experiences with QBasic and a little of Visual Basic. However, as a student, I would think that skipping Pascal is a plus since I tend to ask myself, "When am I ever going to use it in life..." Students tend to question the applicable use of something that is learned. In sum, learning C as a foundation and first language seems to be something that will pay off. This book also includes tips and points out common pitfalls such as common programming errors, good programming practices, performance tips, and software engineering observations, which are all really helpful. If you are new to programming, this book is a must. | ||
student and pupil Sir(s), I am employed to Cable & Wireless Jamaica Limited. About four or more years ago I was sent to their inhouse training school to do a one week course in C programming, I was at a loss, I learned nothing. A couple of months ago, my wife decided to do a computer course (C programming followed my visual basic 6 then java) she is now at the visual stage. When she began, I took out my old manual (from C&WJ training school) and surprizingly I was able to help her in the early stages, but then the tables were turned and I got jealous. I read and read and read until I began to understand. I realized that the manual I had was chock full of information but it is hard to understand without someone to explain. Thank you for helping me to understand. "C HOW TO PROGRAM" the second edition is now a part of my library and I feel very strongly that I have made a worthwhile purchase. I am now doing the exercises at the end of chapter three but it's a pity I do not have "someone" at hand to ask questions when I need to, by the way, writing the pseudocode is giving me a bit of a challenge, so I just go straight into writing the C programs. Imagine that, I am teaching myself. Any advice? P. S. I love C. Devon | ||
