Great book for all

This book gives you the very best learners guide and reference book I've ever seen.

An Excellent Tutorial!!!

This is the first C programming book I read. I still recall the excitement I felt when I run the first code example in the book and saw "Hello World" displayed on the screen.1) The authors present the key concepts in C language, such as pointers and arrays, in a concise and easy-to-understand manner.2) The many code examples (with analysis) in the book enable the readers to better understand the language features.

Great book, not for beginners

This is a great tutorial, but I wouldn't recommend it for the beginner programmer, as with most TY books (at least with my experience with them).

Fantastic, simplistic way of teaching.

This book has captured the perfect method to teach someone the C programming language. Many beginner books are very fluffy, others much to advanced. This book explains everything you need to know in a very simple, and extremely thorough manner. An excellect purchase.
