Reader Reviews
This book should be the textbook for Beginning Computer Programming. I am a relative beginner to programming. In the past, I have found programming tutorial books to be absolutely boring because they lacked examples. This book is ALL examples. It is a very good way to teach the language because at every stage of the learning process, I am forced to take an active role in the learning process. I am halfway through the book and I have already typed in about twenty mini-programs that have progressively become harder and more complex. The result is that I am naturally becoming comfortable with the C computer environment. Comment | | (Report this)
