COVERS MANY TOPICS BUT DOES NOT GO INTO DEPTH ON THEM. USEFUL INFO ALTHOUGH

I finally feel that I've actually learned and internalized C, after having less than positive experiences with many other C books. I absolutely feel like I really know and can use C now; It's finally "clicked".
This book teaches by example, builds upon previous learnings, and won't waste your time on esoteric or irrelevant details that you can simply reference later if and when needed. This educational approach is absolutely effective and is very refreshing.
Rating: - Good book, but no answers to exercises available!
I was required to purchase this as a textbook for college. As I have no programming experience, I really wish I had a way to check my answers to the exercises. Unfortunately, the link provided in the textbook does not work. The author has not answered my email. There is also no working link for errata.
Don't buy it if you don't need to because it's useless without a working link for errata and answers to exercises. Hopefully that will change someday soon, but until it does, I can't recommend ... Read More
Rating: - Thorough but simplistic
The book covers the subject matter very thoroughly, albeit in a very simplistic manner. The code samples perform very rudimentary operations and I found it difficult to combine find the syntax for combining multiple coding concepts into the most concise way. The writing style is easy to follow and the code examples are well explained - much like the Safari books.
Rating: - Required Text for C Programming Course
This was the only text required for my college level C-Programming Course. I honestly didn't read as much of it as I should have. I did feel that most of the examples were thorough and helpful.
