Rating:  - Chalked full of great information.
(I have the third edition.)
This book was required for a C programming class. It chalked full of great information. I learned a lot from this book and the instructor.
4 stars instead of 5 because of the way the way the book is organized. Better organization could have been implimented. There are too many "Good Programming Practicees" and "Common Programming Error" boxes to clutter up the pages. Perhaps some Chicago style referencing and a section at the end of the chapter would help clean up the regular text. --- Also some of the subjects used for the codeing examples, and some of the coding examples themselves should be simpler. In other words the code examples tended to be difficult to follow at times.
Overall the book is keeper. (That and because it has just been succeded by a a new edition and is no longer resellable for nearly what I paid for it. (This is the third edition.))
This book is very usable even as an older edition.
