Product Review
"provides a good introduction to programming in C." Michael Marcotty, Computing Reviews

Book Description
At present, C is one of the most popular programming languages. It is not only flexible, but efficient and highly portable, and is now used for writing many different kinds of programs, from compilers and assemblers to spreadsheets and games. Assuming only familiarity with basic programming concepts such as variables and looping, this book covers all aspects of the C language, including a detailed look at file handling and pointers. The text is self-contained and contains a wealth of examples and exercises that test the understanding of the concepts developed in each chapter. Anybody who wishes to come to grips with the art of programming in C will find this a most valuable book.

Reader Reviews
This book is one of the best books explaining ANSI C. It starts from the newbie level and delivers the knowledge needed for any good C programmer to survive. The writing style is very nice, the author has done some fine efforts in keeping his threads of thought clear and easy to follow. For people who already know C, this is also good as a quick reference and is something concise to quickly refer to, in small issues. They could also just use it to quickly refresh their knowledge of C every once in a while. It doesn't cover any advanced topics, but it does what it promises to do, so there's nothing serious to put this book down. This book could have helped me greatly when I was just starting to learn C programming, but it didn't... Just because I only bought it too late, at the end of my C programming days! -Mokhtar M.
