I am looking for a recommendation on reference material to start out with in learning (relearning) C programming. I only took 2-3 courses in it in college and would like to start with basic review and progress. Any books' recommendation would be great!

Well I finally got of dead-center. The note worked.

Here's the C book I mentioned. I'll also say I now rarely look at K&R since I got this book.

Keith!

That book has a copyright date of 1996.

And I thought you were old school. ;-)

Ha! I'm old school but not reeeeally old school.[lol]

Yeah, why do people name things that exist in a temporally based realm "modern" or "the new" which starts antiquating immediately.[lookaround]

Sill a good book!

Real programmers don't comment
If it is hard to write, it should be harder to read
 
Go on usenet in one of the ebooks groups. I've seen dozens of programming language references posted in in the last month.

 
Hi,

I would recommend that you preview the books recommended on this thread aganist the reviews on this website.


There are books out there which appears to be excellent, but really just propogate wrong information or is just a re-print of the manual.

cheers,
tyc
