Books : The C Programming Language (2nd Edition)
Related Items:
Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: An indisputably classic computing text, Kernighan and Ritchie's The C Programming Language, 2nd Edition, is the standard reference for learning and using ANSI C. Written by the co-inventors of C, this concise tutorial has a well-deserved reputation for clarity and precision as it defines one of the most successful programming languages of all time. It's an essential reference, which will be useful for beginners and experienced programmers alike. This masterful tour of C features concentrates on essential programming constructs, from the basics--such as data types, variables, operators and flow control--to more advanced topics. Short, effective programming samples are the rule here. (Many samples work with strings and text files). Along the way, the authors don't shy away from the thornier C topics. For example, when discussing pointers, they look at pointers to pointers and even pointers to functions. Later in the book, they offer useful code for a flexible memory allocation scheme and a binary tree. The text concludes with the formal specification for C and a compact listing of the functions in the C standard header files. C is still a great first programming language, and its influence is felt in Java and C++, both of which support many programming constructs based on C, while adding support for objects. The C Programming Language is still an excellent reference to one of our most successful and efficient programming languages. It's a book that deserves a place on the bookshelf of any C/C++ developer, regardless of your experience with the language. --Richard Dragan, Amazon.com Topics covered:
Amazon.co.uk Review: Just about every C programmer I respect learned C from this book. Unlike many of the 1,000 page doorstops stuffed with CD-ROMs that have become popular, this volume is concise and powerful (if somewhat dangerous)--like C itself. And it was written by Kernighan himself. Need we say more? --Amazon.com Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The only one you needI learned C from this book back in 1988 having only prior experience in BASIC. Today it's still the book I turn to recap. I thoroughly recommend this book for beginners because you'll learn the right skills from the outset, just take your time. Rating:  - Not for beginnersThis is not the best book for those learning to program in C. It is probrably best suited for those who already have a little programming experience. The constructs are not always well presented and the examples suffer from being too computer science oriented (e.g. counting words in a sentence). Overall, not exactly a tutorial or a reference but does provide a few pointers for intermediate level C programmers. Rating: - Pure geniusThis book may not be the newest one out but it is totally the best. I read many many many books trying to learn C but none of them quite did it until i found this one and it will always have a place in my heart and on my desk. STOP looking and buy this book NOW!! Rating: - ClassicI'm developing a theory about programming books; you can't just read one book on any given subject, any more than you can get a sense of what a country is like from reading one guidebook to the place. I came to K&R as a late starter, having read only book on C before, which I'm not ashamed to admit was 'C for Dummies'. All I can say is, if I hadn't read the Dummies book and cobbled a few half-assed non-programs together, I might not be able to understand this book at all, but having done so I ... Read More Rating: - A fantastic book, but not for newbiesThis book is the classic of C programming. It covers all the aspects of procedural programming in C. It is one of the reference books by several C programming certification authorities, like Brainbench. This book is written based on the ANSI C Standard. Half of this book is reference to the ANSI C standard. It is more like a strict text-book rather than a interactive learning material. For programming beginners, you can get lost very easily and struggle with even the first ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
