Rating: - Excellent book for beginning programmers
Greg Perry has a way of teaching complex subjects to absolute beginners. This book is easy to follow even if you've never programmed before.

This book is extremely simple and by far too verbose.
Book is about 360 pages which could easily be fit in 90 page none-verbose version. Still good start if you are absoutely new to C.
To be more specific, this book doesa good job to defining compplecated C terms like Stack/Hip and dynamic memory allocation.

Rating: - Finally, a great book for a true beginner!
The author did a great job of explaining in this book. It was very easy to understand and enjoyable to read. I highly recommend this book for a true beginner. Also, the author includes a helpful and handy "Crib Notes," which is a tear out reference sheet of Functions and Statements covered in the book. No doubt, I rate this book 5 stars!

I found this text to be a fun read, not overly technical (it is a beginning level text) and very much worth ... Read More
