Rating: - Excellent Textbook
This was my college text for an intro level class within my information systems major at the University of Texas at Tyler. While I was first a bit worried over the sheer size of the book I soon came to love it.
Pros:
+The book includes amongst it's numerous examples many complete programs. Meaning that when I wanted to see how something worked I could enter the example and it would compile properly. Most of the other programing textbooks I've experienced include only ... Read More
Rating: - Not as good as some may suggest...
This book is too dense, basicly all you are getting is one third of the book on the subject. However, the explanation is well written and clear, but it follows few chapters after given example code.
In each chapter very much is covered in very short lessons, the author felt like he had to put two other languages in the same book c++ and java.
Pros : Good explaination.
Cons : Covers very much in each lesson.
Rating: - Very Good Book on C (Emphasis on Beginners)
This book is used in FSU's CGS 3408 course: "Introduction to Programming with the C Language." In the preface, the Deitels state that this book is for everyone (beginners to experts) who want to learn C. They've made a very good stab at that goal, but realistically, I'd have to say that those who are professional programmers in other languages will find this book too long for their needs. For beginners (and even those moderately versed in other languages), this is an excellent book. I really have ... Read More
Rating: - Great book for novices
I got C as my first programming language in university and my lecturer recommended me to buy this book. He's right. This book is very good. It contains very detail information about C in plain words. The sentences are easy to understand for a student like me who don't use English as primary language. This book really helps me understand C in a different view. I would recommend this book to everyone who's interested in C. If you are new to programming, this book is a good start.

This book first needs better binding glues since it comes apart after a few weeks of heavy usage. When I surveyed other students' textbooks their books suffered the same fate.
Some of the book's examples are difficult to follow along and the explanation usually follow several pages later.
Some of the problems deal with Casino card and dice gambling type problems that some religious students just aren't familiar with and the description in the problems assusme students know all ... Read More
