Designed to teach ANSI C on the UNIX system, this text begins with a chapter on UNIX for C Programmers that aims to facilitate hands-on learning of C in realistic situations. This description may be from another edition of this product.
This was my first C book and I think it is still one of the best books around. The book can be tailored for different needs, from an introductory course in C, to a more advanced one that covers concepts like data encapsulation, Unix system facilities and multiprogramming. It is NOT a dummy's book, and requires some sophistication from the user, although no previous knowledge. On the other hand, it is well-written, concise (you won't need to read through 20 pages of irrelevant stuff for the author finally converge on the relevant concept), correct and complete.I highly recommend it.
