[clug-talk] Recommendations for C Programming Book

[ramasa at sympatico.ca]

I took a quick look at the web description of probably one of my favorite university courses I ever took and yes the book list has changed!  K&R is not even recommended any more.  It looks like the current bible is "C Programming A Modern Approach 2nd edition".  I have not taken a look at this book but just for the fact that the course is using it, I would highly recommend it.  I will take a look at it myself.

hope it helps!

Hello.

 

I own Kernighan and Ritchie, I`ve even used it as a reference in
the more distant past.  It definitely is one of the great classics in Computer
Science.  I think I might use K&R, Expert C Programming and the Programming
Praxis website to get back up to speed.  Most of the tutorial based books seem
to simple.  

 

Nothing like diving right back in.

Another excellent book and you
can't get more authoritative authors than those.  The reason that I prefer
the other book is that there is more information including tips for C compiler
writers.

My holiday project is to get through one C book.  The
one I chose is the

"C Programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchie.
