Rating:  - GET THIS BOOK!
This is THE book to start with if you know absolutely nothing about programming and you want to know specifics and not just an overview. Any book can be vague and leave you feeling like you need another book. Not this one. Everything is explained straight out with no techie cheese. This is great for teenagers, too. My 13 year old just finished reading this book and is making up simple programs. Congratulations and thanks to the author. This book is great!
Rating: - An Author That Knows The Meaning Of Beginner
This book, is by far, the best book on beginning C that I have read. The Author's ease in explaning the C language clearly shows that he has a complete command of the language.
The Author has hit that rare combination of how far to go into a subject without losing the reader. One could, AND SHOULD, pick up this book and finish it with relative ease.
In the book, the author's other books are listed. I am very excited about learning other topics from this author. If his books are remotely like this book, I have all the confidence that I will be able to tackle it.
I cannot stress enough, the ability of this author to name, explain and demonstrate without missing a beat. This book should be the jumping off point for all those who aspire to be a c or c++ programmer.

Rating: - Excellent Beginner Material!
I am a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer and Certified Trainer who wanted to begin exploring the world of programming. I tried to teach myself C back in the old DOS days and eventually gave up - too frustrating. I've recently decided to give it another try and began looking for a "do it yourself-type" book.
After reading all of the reviews for this book, I went out and purchased it. It is an awesome beginner tutorial on the C programming language. The best purchase I've made in a long time. Although the book was written 6 years ago, the material is very well written and provides you a fast way to get started programming in C. No outdated stuff in this book...
If you're looking to get started learning C, you will definitely need to purchase this book. It is a very enjoyable book clearly written with the beginner in mind.
Rating: - The BEST book for Beginners. A Definate 5 STAR!
I start off with saying that this is the best book to buy if you have never even programmed before. This book gives you the best start you can get..Dont buy books like "C for dumbies" by googin or whatever his name is. I seriously reccomend this book. It starts of with standard I/o like printf() and scanf() et cetera...Then goes on to teach you data structers, loops, heap memory, intermediate i/o, and making your own functions. It teaches you how to organize your code and make it more easier to read. The writer puts everything in a CLEAR easy to read way, unlike other books that explain things in a very difficult manner and don't put much depth into it or make jokes to get the point through like your stupid. After this book I reccomend "The C Programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchie. Buy this book and you won't regret it...That's a fact. Just don't think that your a master at C after you read it. Practice will make you a better programmer.!
